Digital Library

The Digital Object Identifier System

International book and journal publishers have sponsored the development of a new identification system for digital media. The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) System has been designed by the Association of American Publishers, in partnership with the Corporation For National Research Initiatives, to link customers with publishers, facilitate electronic commerce, and enable copyright management systems. The DOI System, governed by The International DOI Foundation, is now in use by more than a dozen U.S. and European publishers, many of them participants in a pilot program that began in July 1997. An invitation to participate was extended to all publishers at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October 1997. This site provides information about this initiative.
