AAP DEVELOPS DIGITAL I.D. SYSTEM FOR PUBLICATIONS The Association of American Publishers, in conjunction with the Corporation for National Research Initiatives, has developed an electronic identification system for materials on the Internet. The digital object identifier (DOI) system links would-be content-users with content copyright-owners through alphanumeric "tags" attached to each work. The AAP hopes the system could eventually be used to restrict access to copyrighted works, but for now, it's strictly an honor system. The DOI system will be maintained and administered by the newly formed International DOI Foundation. http://www.doi.org (CIO 15 Feb 98)
