\begin{abstract}
In this poster, we begin to explore how socio-geographical
considerations can inform the development of data infrastructure,
notably Persistent Identifiers. PIDs have become largely accepted within
the Research Data Alliance, W3C, and elsewhere as core elements of data
infrastructure. Science is comprised of many divergent formal and
informal viewpoints at many different levels with a need for
generalizable findings. PIDs act as ``Boundary Objects'' (Star \&
Griesemer, 1989) --- objects that are part of multiple social worlds and
facilitate communication between them. They allow meaning to be
understood in different contexts and are ``plastic enough to adapt to
local needs, \ldots{} yet robust enough to maintain a common identity
across sites. They are weakly structured in common use and become
strongly structured in individual site use.'' Boundary objects work to
reduce local uncertainty without damaging cooperation. It is a question
of re-representations across intersecting worlds not consensus. PIDs
work to allow machines and humans to understand which digital object is
in question (identity), what it is (type), and where it is (location).
Each of these questions is surprisingly fraught and complex.%
