Summary

The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system is like a digital address book: One DOI name resolves to information on the location of the content. A DOI name can be assigned to any physical, digital, and abstract entity of any degree of granularity. The DOI system aims to facilitate persistence, data updates, interoperability, extensibility, and content management.
