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 -- Tony Hammond New Technology, Nature Publishing Group 4 Crinan St., London N1 9XW, UK tel:+44-20-7843-4659 mailto:t.hammond@nature.com "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."
