An open, community-driven registry of conference and event venues.
EVR assigns persistent identifiers (PIDs) to make referencing venues FAIR. This is similar to how ORCID assigns PIDs to researchers and ROR assigns PIDs to research organizations.
This benefits researchers assembling information about in-person conferences and events by enabling them to refer in an unambiguous way to the venue where it takes place.
This repository follows the Open Data, Open Code, Open Infrastructure (O3) principles, meaning that the data and code are all in one repository that anyone can contribute to.
evr
Local identifiers in Event Venue Registry should match this
regular expression:
^\d{7}$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Event Venue Registry should match
this regular expression:
^evr:\d{7}$
A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).
The local unique identifier 0000001
is used to demonstrate the providers
available for Event Venue Registry. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below.
A guide for curating additional providers can be found
here.
