The EXFOR project utilizes persistent identifiers (PIDs) for reference tracking of publications, authors and contributors. Currently, this is implemented via DOI references for publications and datasets and ORCID references for persons. Correspondingly, also releases of the EXFOR data collection will be attached to a DOI for persistent referencing.

The EXFOR dictionary system will be fully automated, integrating with external data sources through modern APIs. This allows seamless updates from databases such as ROR (for research institutes), ISSN/DOI (for journals), IAEA resources (Accelerator/Research reactor databases), and authoritative SI unit conversion databases like NIST or BIPM. The system will use standardized, modular formats (e.g., JSON, XML) following established schemas such as DataCite Metadata Schema to ensure future compatibility and make it easy to switch or add data sources if necessary.

The system will use standardized, modular formats (e.g., JSON, XML) following established schemas such as DataCite Metadata Schema to ensure future compatibility and make it easy to switch or add data sources if necessary.
The system will pull data from a variety of sources, such as ROR for institutional information, ISSN/DOI for journals, other IAEA resources (Accelerator/Research reactor databases) for geolocation data, and SI unit databases (e.g., NIST or BIPM) for unit conversions, and ORCID for athor identification. This comprehensive integration ensures accurate and up-to-date dictionary entries across all categories (institutions, journals, locations, units, and authors).

While combinations of observables and experimental conditions will be manually maintained, other updates—such as institutional data, journal references, geographic locations, and unit conversions—will be fully automated. The system includes provisions for human intervention in special cases where manual validation or adjustments are required. By default, most entries and updates will be processed automatically.
All updates—whether for institutional data, journal information, geographic locations, or unit conversions—will be automatically synchronized in real-time with the connected databases. The system will continuously monitor for updates, ensuring all entries are current without any manual data uploads or interventions. Human oversight will only be required in rare, exceptional cases.
