The Knowledge Exchange has released three persistent identifier studies:

• PersID – III: Current State and State of the Art (IIIa) & User Requirements (IIIb)
• PersID – IV: Prototype for a Meta Resolver System/ Work on Standards
• PersID – V: Sustainability

Here's an excerpt from the announcement:

The studies have aimed to overcome the confusing variety of existing persistent identifier systems, by analysing the current national URN:NBN and other identifier initiatives; by providing guidelines for an international harmonized persistent identifier framework that serves the long-term preservation needs of the research and cultural heritage communities, and advise these communities about a roadmap to gain the potential benefits. This roadmap also includes a blueprint for an organisation for the distribution and maintenance of the Persistent Identifier infrastructure
