DOI Update 2001

doi>

“DOI commercial implementations”

• Persistent identification – Not just a location – Permanent, trackable, name– Stays the same if ownership, location, control changes– No need to update customers if location changes

• Can incorporate existing identifiers– Standard e.g. ISBN, ISSN, ISMN, SICI, ISRC– Non-standard / public e.g. PII– Private e.g. workflow, internal production – Assigned by the publisher – or on his behalf

• Can integrate with existing internal and external systems– Sales, royalty, stock, analysis, etc – Web sites, etc.

Features and benefits of DOI doi>

• Automated link from DOI to any (and multiple) data – e.g. Multiple locations; purchase options; additional info;

access control • See DOI-EB for a demonstration

– controlled globally by the publisher. – can be used globally by an intermediary, customer, etc.– No other system can do this

• Build your own custom features: entirely extensible architecture

• Generic applicability; any form of intellectual property, any granularity (text, music, audio..)– ensure interoperability

• Uses existing standards; ensures long term use

Features and benefits of DOI doi>

• Promotes use of material in a legal, controllable, manner

• Proven, implemented, real system in use now • Proven defence against new entrants

– The best defence: better features, better services, by legitimate routes -

• Demonstrated unique additional features– Multiple resolution; See DOI-EB work

• Low risk, low cost, standard solution– Not a proprietary system; available at low cost– controlled by neutral, not-for-profit Foundation with single aim.– Built on open standards; allows use of existing standards– Comprehensive effort reduces risk of "dead-end": Asia as well as

EU, US; multimedia e.g. text, music, software

POLICIES

Any form of identifier

NUMBERING

DESCRIPTION

<indecs> framework:DOI can describe any form of intellectual property, at any level of granularity

ACTION

Handle resolution allows a DOI to link to any and multiple piecesof current data

doi>extensible

• Coordinated work to support efficient operation: – Governance– Refine operational rules– Development of standards for application building– Development of additional features, tools

• Promotion and publicity to ensure deployment and avoid fragmentation

• Work with other activities to prevent conflicts and promote efficiency– Standards bodies, consortia, etc (w3C, IETF, OEBF,

MPEG, ISO, SIIA, XML, XrML, etc. )

doi>What more is needed now?

Membership support to provide finance for the work

• Membership grew consistently to 2001; – renewed effort now necessary to complete work

• membership supports development as operating

federation gradually takes over• basis of business model• proven model in other sectors (Visa, ISBN, EAN/UPC);

community invests now to get benefit for all • Business model demonstrated as sustainable:

– “Deployment” paper– financial model for scenario building (RA Working

Group)

doi>What is needed now?

• Ensure the DOI is widely implemented – Underpinning of consistent rules, infrastructure, and wide uptake

• Ensure content community sets standards – Technology standards are not enough (Napster)– Strong lead by publishing industry - text as the lead carrier, but supports audio,

video, etc– No other existing forum is doing this: W3C, OEBF, MPEG21 etc. all looking at

parts• Common community platform:

– DOI results from extensive work by AAP, IPA, STM (1995+) • IDF has strong lead, recognised position, and support.

– Build on what has been achieved • Promote collaboration

– Content and technology communities are represented– interoperate with others; reduce costs, prevent mistakes

• Facilitate building of specific added-value services.

Why support IDF? doi>

• Cost-effective access to digital commerce expertise:– Membership cost is equivalent to 2-3 days per month of one consultant

(even at highest membership level)– Detailed monthly briefings

• Preferential access to business opportunities: – IDF makes connections between members and potential applications:

explore at low risk possible business opportunities– Early access to results of prototypes, plans– Shared ownership of IDF output (data dictionaries, future

developments) • Share cost of development of prototypes:

– Costs can be shared by participants rather than by one company• Influence the course of the IDF:

– participate in working groups, annual meeting, prototypes, board– share in use of resulting technologies

• The benefits of standards: reduced risk, increased speed.

Benefits of supporting IDF doi>

• International DOI Foundation– Not-for-profit communal effort; paid membership support– Members own and control DOI effort

• Open to all interested parties• Governance by board elected from members• Membership fees:

– $30,000 per annum – $10,000 for small /not-for-profit members– [$5000 per annum for non-member affiliates]

• Membership support will enable us to put self-funding operating federation in place

• www.doi.org

How to support IDF doi>

• Provide a simple one-stop DOI solution for a community• An additional business opportunity for some members• Build on the features and acceptance of the system

– build on existing services or offer new services– management of content, management of metadata, etc.

• RAs may build as little or as much as they wish on this– simple assignment, through to a wide range of services

• RAs determine their own fate: – IDF provides federal structure for infrastructure, predictable costs and

governance model – open market structure for applications

• Business opportunity is a shared risk: – DOI service supported by multiple RAs and multiple applications– Shared costs of the infrastructure– common infrastructure encourages common added-value tools

Registration Agencies doi>

Information Identification - IPA/STM ; Uniform File Identifiers - AAP (1995)• “..need to unify in one scheme music, audiovisual, document management, internet engineering, digital libraries, copyright registration and object based

software”• “..maximise utility of digital objects; enable core interoperability; enable integration of disparate sourced data; ability to trace ownership to manage rights”• requirements:

– protect legacy investments– enable interoperability– provide link between digital and physical– maintain privacy of users– have persistence– standard syntax– global scalability– global uniqueness– global meaning

doi>

DOI delivers all this

A consistent call by the publishing industry
