Re: Identification systems for movie (cinema), book, music and score, etc.

Hi Karl:

Just to clarify about DOI, this passage (below) from the IDF home page
(http://www.doi.org/). DOI's are used to identify and manage (on a digital
network) entities of significance within IPR transactions. There is no
restriction that the resource be digital (whether online or not), although
even the online resources can go back aways. Oldest DOI registered with
CrossRef is from 1769:

    http://www.crossref.org/crweblog/2006/09/oldest_doi_in_crossref.html

Scope of DOI is also unbounded and increasingly they are being applied to
datasets as well as publications.

Cheers,

Tony

"The DOI System is for identifying content objects in the digital
environment. DOI® names are assigned to any entity for use on digital
networks. They are used to provide current information, including where they
(or information about them) can be found on the Internet. Information about
a digital object may change over time, including where to find it, but its
DOI name will not change.

The DOI System provides a framework for persistent identification, managing
intellectual content, managing metadata, linking customers with content
suppliers, facilitating electronic commerce, and enabling automated
management of media. DOI names can be used for any form of management of any
data, whether commercial or non-commercial."
