DOI – new applications panel IDF Annual Members meeting Bologna 2005 doi>
Scope – a reminder doi> • Digital Object Identifier = • not “Identifier of Digital Object” • but Digital Identifier of Object • “Object” = any entity of interest in an intellectual property transaction. It can be physical, digital or abstract, e.g. people, organisations, agreements, etc. • “Object” is defined by metadata and terminology from data dictionary (indecs framework et al) to ensure that “what you mean is what I mean “ (interoperability) • What is identified is not necessarily what DOI resolves to (what is resolved to is “about” what is identified)
Value of the DOI system doi> • See “DOI factsheet: Value added by the DOI system” • Version 1.0: www.doi.org/factsheets • The value of the DOI system is from three functions: • Persistent identification • Network actionability • Semantic interoperability • Value is added by each of these three • Each offers value • Can have one or more for a DOI application • The combination provides best advantage
Value added (1) doi> • Design • A system for persistent, semantically interoperable, identification of intellectual property entities on any digital network. • Media type neutral: applies to physical and digital objects and abstract entities (resources, parties, licences, etc) • Standards based • Uses existing components in building an added value application. • To be an ISO standard • Syntax • Standard NISO Z39.84 syntax • Technical Infrastructure • IDF funds aspects of technical infrastructure underlying the DOI System
doi> Value added (2) • Social infrastructure (persistence) • IDF builds on top of Handle a social structure guaranteeing persistence, which is a function of organizations, not of technology; a persistent identifier system requires a persistent organization and defined processes. • Resolution (network actionability) • Uses Handle System • Technology neutral (only requires internet connectivity) • Data structure (semantic interoperability) • Precisely specify exactly what is identified • Can be used to embody any relationships, e.g. a parent-children relationship. Handle technology allows this; DOI provides a framework to achieve it. • Business potential • Registrants can incorporate persistent, semantically interoperable, identification of intellectual property entities as part of services providing added value
Some examples doi> • Using DOI for cultural artefacts: • Making available the form content of cuneiform tablets: the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI) (http: //cdli.ucla.edu) • Using DOI for Licensing • Making licence information actionable: The Electronic Resource Management Initiative (ERMI) and MI3P projects • Using DOI for Public Sector Information • Navigating and accessing public sector information in Europe • Using DOI for whole of value chain information management • For products where metadata needs to be changed and updated as they “move” along the value chain
Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative doi> • Persistent identification • Identifies the writing tablet for later citation by others • Network actionability • Resolves to a single image or multiple, embedded images (cut out images of the same writing tablet) or data • Semantic interoperability • Specify exactly which tablet and image is identified • Enables translation (mapping into other languages) of the image data, its history and other relevant facts • Metadata and objects can be included in other library collections

The text to the left, sold in London in the early 90’s, was, using CDLI files, identified as a tablet looted from a southern Iraq museum during the Shiite uprising, and has been returned to the Iraq Museum Returned text Tablet obverse 1.A. 1(N01) , |NINDA2+1(N01)| 1.B. 1(N05) , 2.A. 1(N01) , 1(N39A) 2.B. 1(N42A) , 3.A. 2(N01) , 1(N24) 3.B. 1(N42A) , 4.A. 6(N01) , 1(N28) 4.B. 1(N42A) 1(N25) , 5.A. 2(N14) , GAR 5.B. 3(N42A) 1(N25) , …
Licensing doi> • Persistent identification • Identifies the parties and licences • Network actionability • Resolves to licensing messages: permissions, restrictions and requirements • Semantic interoperability • Specifies precisely what is licensed and managed – enables interoperability • Interoperability = the possibility of use in services outside the direct control of the issuing assigner • Can be used for Inter-Library Loans, subscription agents or library system vendors (ERMI project) • Can be used to support B2B licensing messages for online music licence management (MI3P)
Public Sector Information doi> • Persistent identification • Identifies the physical or digital manifestations of PSI • Network actionability • Resolves to physical location of content • Semantic interoperability • Specifies precisely what is identified and managed, enabling interoperability • all “meaning the same thing” • Allows searches in multiple languages, across multiple databases • Future enhancements? • Enables (if required) granular access and control for different users
Coursepacks across the value chain doi> • Persistent identification • Identifies the physical or digital manifestations of works • Network actionability • Resolves to rights-cleared digital content or Print on Demand output • Semantic interoperability • Ensures that what a user thinks is being managed is what the issuer meant to be managed: preserves the integrity of value chain process • Can be used as part of resource discovery or ordering systems • Can link to Print on Demand facilities anywhere in the world
Value chain information management (2) doi> • For products with volatile or context-sensitive supplier/terms: • Persistent identification • Identifies a physical product, possibly using a discovery tool based on an ageing data-repository • Network actionability • Context-based resolution returns message (providing current supplier routing-address and terms for that particular customer) • Semantic interoperability • Enables ordering systems to communicate
Conclusions doi> • Full functionality of DOI System (AP Framework, Data Dictionary), uptake and use? • Additional generic tools (e.g. Acrobat plug-in)- role of IDF? • Outreach to new applications- role of RAs, role of IDF?
