What is the relationship between SFX, CrossRef, and the DOI?
Ex Libris - SFX - FAQCrossRef (www.crossref.org) is a consortium of primary publishers. CrossRef members use a digital object identifier (DOI; see www.doi.org) to link between their resources- for example, to link from a reference in an article published by one CrossRef member to the full text of the article itself, published by another CrossRef member.
Related QuestionsWhat is the relationship between a DOI name and other development efforts?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe International DOI Foundation is a member of some standards organizations, and maintains a number of liaisons or alliances through memberships and/or exchange of information with others, which allow us to act as a collaborative interface in discussions on standards and infrastructure development across the spectrum of intellectual property and technology communities.
Related QuestionsWhat is the relationship between the DOI System and the Handle System?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe DOI System is an application of the Handle System (a resolution system) to intellectual property. It is more than the Handle System: it adds to the Handle System an approach based on structured associated metadata, policies, procedures, business models and application tools. Initial implementations are now being supplemented by increasingly sophisticated value-added tools for metadata management and content management, which will use the Handle System multiple resolution function.
Related QuestionsWhat is the relationship between the DOI System and the indecs framework?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe DOI System is an implementation of the indecs metadata framework. In addition, IDF participates in the management and governance of the indecs framework, together with other stakeholders. IDF is one of the organisations which developed the original indecs framework and is now developing it further. The indecs approach is fundamental to the DOI System's design.
Related QuestionsWhat is the relationship between DOI names and XML?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe DOI System makes use of XML (eXtensible Markup Language), and XML is entirely compatible with DOI names. The expression of metadata in XML is recommended both for kernel metadata and for DOI Application Profile metadata extended from the kernel. The indecs data dictionary and the DOI® Resource Metadata declaration both allow the use of XML expressions, commonly used for metadata transport and messaging. It seems likely that the relationship between DOI names and XML will grow over time.

Related QuestionsWhat can be identified by a DOI name?
Frequently Asked QuestionsA DOI name can be used to identify any resource involved in an intellectual property transaction. Intellectual property includes both physical and digital manifestations, performances and abstract works. An entity can be identified at any arbitrary level of granularity. DOI names can be used to identify, for example, text, audio, images, software, etc; and in future could be used to identify the agreements and parties involved.
Related QuestionsHow do I assign a DOI name?
Frequently Asked QuestionsA DOI name prefix (for example, 10.1000/) enables a registrant to assign many DOI names, by building on the prefix to construct a range of unique identifiers (10.1000/abc, etc). To obtain a prefix, you need to work either with a Registration Agency or, for experimental or prototype purposes, with the International DOI Foundation. Working with a Registration Agency (RA) brings with it the advantages of participation in a defined DOI System application with others.

Related QuestionsWhat is a DOI?
DOI Frequently Asked QuestionsDOI stands for Digital Object Identifier. DOIs are used to uniquely identify files or other resources on the internet. Address details need only be maintained in one place in order to guarantee that links to a file or resource, wherever the links are, will never be out of date, so bringing to an end the all too familiar "file not found" message.
Related QuestionsFAQDOI or Digital Object Identifier is a persistent identifier used to cite and link electronic documents. The DOI consists of a unique alphanumeric character string which is assigned to a document by the publisher upon the initial electronic publication. DOI's can be assigned to articles that have not received their full bibliographic information and/or for hyperlinks to documents on the Web. The International DOI Foundation at www.doi.org/introduction.html administers the DOI scheme.Related Questions

How do I become a member of the International DOI Foundation?
Frequently Asked QuestionsMembers of the DOI Foundation are organizations (not usually individuals). Membership requires payment of an annual subscription, which varies by category of membership. The International DOI Foundation is similar in some ways to other development organisations such as the World Wide Web consortium. For more on this topic, see the DOI Handbook chapter The International DOI Foundation, in particular Section 7.13, Membership of the International DOI Foundation.
Related QuestionsWhat is the role of the International DOI Foundation?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe IDF governs the DOI System, to ensure that all applications follow common rules. The system itself has several components: the technology is based on open agreed standards, while the infrastructure is defined by agreements between the various organisations which run the system, such as the Registration Agencies and the technology providers. Each Registration Agency is autonomous and the IDF has no role in determining an RAs business model or governance.
Related QuestionsAre there any guidelines on how to make up the DOI name?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe DOI name syntax is a NISO standard, but allows the incorporation of any form of existing identifier. The DOI name suffix can be any alphanumeric string that the Registrant chooses. This can simply be a sequential number, or it can make use of an existing (legacy) identifier. The latter may often be administratively convenient for the Registrant. A check digit is not compulsory or necessary, but may be included.
