The ePIC (Persistent Identifier Consortium for eResearch) initiative aims to provide a robust infrastructure for registering and resolving persistent identifiers (PIDs) for the broader research community. ePIC's main goal is to set up and maintain highly reliable, persistent and highly performant services for PIDs. This is achieved through a network of major data centers that share the same service, the same API and that have implemented a redundancy scheme.
