Digital object identifier
In computing, a Digital Object Identifier or DOI is a persistent identifier or handle used to uniquely identify objects, standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). [1] An implementation of the Handle System , [2] [3] DOIs are in wide use mainly to identify academic, professional, and government information, such as journal articles, research reports and data sets, and official publications though they also have been used to identify other types of information resources, such as commercial videos.

A digital object identifier ( DOI ) is a character string (a "digital identifier") used to uniquely identify an object such as an electronic document . Metadata about the object is stored in association with the DOI name and this metadata may include a location, such as a URL , where the object can be found. The DOI for a document remains fixed over the lifetime of the document, whereas its location and other metadata may change. Referring to an online document by its DOI provides more stable linking than simply referring to it by its URL, because if its URL changes, the publisher need only update the metadata for the DOI to link to the new URL.

The Digital Object Identifier ( DOI ) System is a managed system for persistent identification of content-related entities on digital networks. [1] These entities may be content items (digital files, physical objects, abstract works), or any related entities in a content transaction (e.g. licenses, parties, etc.). "DOI" is sometimes used to mean the identifiers within this system; hence the use of the term alone is deprecated unless the meaning is sufficiently clear from an earlier mention or the specific context: instead it should always be used in conjunction with a specific noun. The DOI name is the identifier string that specifies a unique object (the referent) within the DOI System ; the DOI syntax is the form and sequence of characters comprising any DOI name, specifically the prefix element, separator, and suffix element; and the DOI System is the functional deployment of DOI names as identifiers in computer sensible form through assignment, resolution, referent description, administration, etc. Hence DOI is not primarily a numbering system - it is primarily a globally consistent persistent identifier resolution system combined with a coherent approach to creating the identifiers, plus metadata, and a social structure to back up the persistence which is enabled by the technology. |

A digital object identifier ( DOI ) is a permanent digital identifier given to an object. Its most common application is identifying electronic documents . Similar to a Uniform Resource Name (URN) , but in contrast to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) , it is not dependent upon the object's location. The International DOI Foundation (IDF) defines DOI name as "a digital identifier for any object of intellectual property "; it explains that the DOI is used for "persistently identifying a piece of intellectual property on a digital network and associating it with related current data in a structured extensible way." [1] DOI is a registered trademark of the IDF. [2] A typical use of a DOI is to give a scholarly paper or article a unique identifying number that anyone can use to obtain information about the publication's location on a digital network. |

A digital object identifier (or DOI) is a permanent identifier given to an electronic document , which is not related to its current location. A typical use of a DOI is to give a scientific paper or article a unique identifying number that can be used by anyone to locate details of the paper, and possibly an electronic copy. In this way it functions as a permalink . Unlike the URL system used on the Internet for web pages, the DOI does not change over time, even if the article is relocated (provided the DOI resolution system is updated when the change of location is made). |

A digital object identifier (or DOI ) is a standard for persistently identifying a piece of intellectual property on a digital network and associating it with related data, the metadata , in a structured extensible way. This standardization is similar to PURL . A typical use of a DOI is to give a scientific paper or article a unique identifying number that can be used by anyone to locate details of the paper, and possibly an electronic copy. Unlike the URL system used on the Internet for web pages, the DOI does not change over time, even if the article is relocated (provided the DOI resolution system is updated when the change of location is made). |

A digital object identifier (or DOI ) is a permanent identifier ( permalink ) given to a World Wide Web file or other Internet document so that if its Internet address changes, users will be redirected to its new address. A publisher submits a DOI to a centrally-managed directory and then use the address of that directory plus the DOI instead of a regular Internet address. The DOI system was conceived by the Association of American Publishers in partnership with the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), and is now administered by the International DOI Foundation. Essentially, the DOI system is a scheme for Web page redirection by a central manager. |
