Created in 1998;
supports the needs of the intellectual property community in the digital
environment, by the development and promotion of the Digital Object
Identifier (DOI) system as a common infrastructure for content
management;
controlled by a Board, elected by the members of the Foundation;
activities of the Foundation are controlled by its members, operating
under a legal Charter and formal By-laws;
membership is open to all organizations with an interest in electronic
publishing, content distribution, rights management, and related enabling
technologies;
membership is international.
Today the foundation has over 200 companies using several million DOIs.
Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
doi>
• DOI is a system for persistent and actionable identification and
interoperable exchange of intellectual property on digital networks;
• DOI is made up of two components, the prefix and the suffix;
Prefix
Suffix
10.1000/123456
DOI
• Value of the DOI system lies in its combination of Resolution, Metadata
and Policy.
Features of DOI
doi>
Resolution •
•
•
ensures persistence by resolving the DOI to a current associated value such
as a URL;
resolution may be to multiple pieces of data (multiple resolution);
the Handle System is the resolution system used.
Metadata •
•
•
based on <indecs> activity;
consistent with systems such as ONIX and MPEG-21 rdd;
enables mappings between application areas consistently.
Policy •
•
provides rules and mechanisms for implementation;
use of Registration agencies which operate under same rules as an
operational federation.
Benefits of DOI
doi>
Actionable Identifier •
a user can use a DOI to do something;
•
the technology, which underlies the DOI, facilitates much more complex
applications than simple location finding;
•
DOI identifies the intellectual property entity itself rather than its
location.
Persistent Identifier •
if ownership of the entity or the rights in the entity change, the
identification of that entity should not (and does not) change;
•
the responsibility for managing the DOI changes, but not the DOI itself.
Interoperable Identifier •
DOI System has been designed to be able to interoperate with past,
present and future technologies.

The DOI System – Open Standards
doi>
The DOI brings together two major fundamentals which ensure long
term extensibility and interoperability of various types of
intellectual property within various systems, wireless applications,
broadcasting and Internet applications:
The Handle System - a distributed, scalable system based on open
protocols, which manages digital intellectual property as first class entities.
Both the Handle System resolution and the DOI metadata components are
structured, consistent, and manageable so it is possible to apply DOIs to any
content and to develop further tools for content management.
The <indecs> Framework - a broad multi-industry effort which defined
principles for metadata and how existing metadata systems can be mapped
into a standard interoperable form. On an open standards basis, this
framework is currently being expanded to create <indecs>rdd, a Rights Data
Dictionary for multimedia rights management, because unlike kernel
metadata, rights data is transient and dynamic.
The DOI System – Standards Tracking
doi>
The DOI is one component of a fast developing technological infrastructure for
the management of intellectual property in the network environment. There are
many different players involved in the development of that infrastructure,
ranging from technical organizations to the "content industries" themselves.
WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization)
ISO (International Standards Organization)
NISO (National Information Standards Organization)
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)
W3C (World Wide Web Consortium)
OeBF (Open eBook Forum)
MPEG 21 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
A significant element of the work of the IDF lies in tracking standards
developments in related areas, understanding their significance to the context
within which the DOI will operate, and establishing working relationships with
organizations and projects to ensure that appropriate co-operation is fostered
to mutual benefit (and that parallel developments do not remain in ignorance of
one another).
How to Get Started
doi>
Become a member of IDF and participate in working groups, receive white
papers and internal membership reports and meeting briefings. More
information can be found at http://www.doi.org/membership/brochure.html.
To become a Registration Agency, please see more information at
http://www.doi.org/registration_agencies.html.
To obtain a DOI Prefix you need to apply to a DOI Registration Agency or
the IDF. More information can be found at http://www.doi.org/faq.html#2.
For further general information, please see the DOI Handbook at
