Previous version whitepaper draft on google docs.

In academia there is a need to be able to identify resources used by the community such as culture collections, instruments, projects and work packages, collaborative groups, datasets etc. Current systems of resource identification are difficult to establish and DIDs have the potential to allow more widespread uptake and use of permanent identifiers.
