    Data infrastructures manage the life cycle of digital assets and allow users to efficiently discover them. To improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Re-usability (FAIRness) of digital assets, a data infrastructure needs to provide digital assets with not only rich meta information and semantics contexts information but also globally resolvable identifiers. The Persistent Identifiers (PIDs), like Digital Object Identifier (DOI) are often used by data publishers and infrastructures. The traditional IP network and client-server model can potentially cause congestion and delays when many consumers simultaneously access data. In contrast, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) technologies such as Named Data Networking (NDN) adopt a data-centric approach where digital data objects, once requested, may be stored on intermediate hops in the network. Consecutive requests for that unique digital object are then made available by these intermediate hops (caching). This approach distributes traffic load more efficient and reliable compared to host-to-host connection-oriented techniques and demonstrates attractive opportunities for sharing digital objects across distributed networks. However, such an approach also faces several challenges. It requires not only an effective translation between the different naming schemas among PIDs and NDN, in particular for supporting PIDs from different publishers or repositories. Moreover, the planning and configuration of an ICN environment for distributed infrastructures are lacking an automated solution. To bridge the gap, we propose an ICN planning service with specific consideration of interoperability across PID schemas in the Cloud environment

    Effective digital object access and sharing over a networked environment using DOIP and NDN

    FAIRness (findability, accessibility, interoperability and re-usability) is crucial for enabling open science and innovation based on digital objects from large communities of providers and users. However, the gaps among version control, identification and distributed access systems often make the scalability of data centric applications difficult across large user communities and highly distributed infrastructures. This poster proposes a solution for accessing and sharing digital objects over a networked environment using Digital object interface protocol (DOIP) and Named Data Networking (NDN)
