9. 9 Components of the DOI DOI: Review of progress

10. 10 A number (or name) –assign a number to something –(compare: telephone number)

11. 11 A number (or name) –assign a number to something –(compare: telephone number) A description –what the number is assigned to –(compare: directory entry)

12. 12 A number (or name) –assign a number to something –(compare: telephone number) A description –what the number is assigned to –(compare: directory entry) An action –make the number do something –(compare: the telephone system)

13. 13 A number (or name) –assign a number to something –(compare: telephone number) A description –what the number is assigned to –(compare: directory entry) An action –make the number do something –(compare: the telephone system) Policies –how to get a phone number; billing (compare: social structures)

14. 14 POLICIES Syntax 10.1234/5678 NUMBERING DESCRIPTION Metadata Pieces of data which describe uniquely that which is identified Resolution System able to link the number to something useful ACTION

16. 16 Syntax 10.1234/5678 NUMBERING Resolution System able to link the number to something useful ACTION

18. 18 POLICIES Any form of identifier ENUMERATION DESCRIPTION framework: DOI can describe any form of intellectual property, at any level of granularity RESOLUTION Handle System allows a DOI to link to any and multiple pieces of current data doi>

19. 19 An extensible infrastructure, architecture –a firm basis for building consistent, reliable, systems More members, more prefixes, more DOIs DOI: Review of progress

20. 20 a major implementation other implementations near more signs of influence: –W3C; ISTC; E-Books clear vision: conceptual integrity (Brookes) DOI: Review of progress

21. 21 STM Rigorous approach Technical Anglo-American Key individuals Open development Unifying Advantages: and potential pitfalls too identified with text,STM? theoretical? not understandable? not international? in depth support? not yet ready? fragmentation?

22. 22 If this stuff wasnt difficult we wouldnt be doing it The first actionable identifier (all the components) Oct 1997 concept launched (simple form) March 1998 IDF launched; two years of work Some comparisons: –URN (1991 -); DC (1994-); FRBR (1992-98); HDL (1994-); W3C (1994-); IMS (1996-); RosettaNet (1998-) DOI: Time frame

23. 23 Crossref (PILA) –Crossref is the first practical demonstration of why the DOI is important, and how it can be used to improve Web publishing. Though it was implemented by journal publishers…the concept could be applied to other genres… (Seybold Report, 14 June) –see IDF E-Citations paper Images –BioImage; and extension? DOI: Applications

24. 24 E-Books - working with: ONIX/EPICS; OEB; EBX and AAP E-Books standards activity - community is diffuse and hence applications as yet undefined: eBooks (ISBN?); components; links? Instructional materials (NICEM) Music industry Others? E-News; Legal information; Patents; Grey literature; etc. Applications will drive deployment DOI: Applications (cont.)

25. 25 approach vindicated –See recent papers by Carl Lagoze; Priscilla Caplan practical implementation of through ONIX/EPICS dictionary –extension/collaboration with other areas e.g.music/video; SMPTE; MerchEnt; etc documentation in detail: –Handbook (section 5, and appendices 2&5) –More detailed template for genres coming shortly mechanism for metadata (e.g. metadata@DOI 123…) –XML declarations; schemas DOI: Applications and metadata

26. 26 Technology is (relatively) easy Basis for Deployment outlined (end of 1999) Initial financial model (June): simple First and second wave of interested parties Terms document Applications will drive deployment (genres etc) Commercial implementation: deployment

27. 27 more on this in next session rights transactions see latest indecs framework document role of XrML to be investigated DOI-R proposed by analogy to DOI-X scope problems now looking at more defined prototype with FBF Rights is not just another application Extensibility: metadata framework

28. 28 Digital Object Architecture includes Handle, repositories, etc. –see papers by Kahn et al * multiple resolution workflow tools repository: –stated operations = DOI services? –genre definitions, schema, etc? public key infrastructure Extensibility: Digital Object Architecture

29. 29 Review 1999: –DOI Current Status and Outlook May 1999 Review 2000 Handbook (DOI 10.1000/182) Papers –DOI: implementing a standard …. –one to many –etc Documentation

30. 30 W3C approach up to now: –dont promise what cant deliver; show by example CD-ROM marks start of next wave –outreach and applications Marketing

31. 31 Handle: –New release of second major version –Handle infrastructure improved –CNRI plans for Handle –Browser support: Mozilla, IE? Metadata, rights: –ONIX/EPICS etc implementing indecs –XrML W3C: – URI Activity –intellectual property on the web workshop Other key activities

32. 32 Other intellectual property activities: –e.g. MPEG-21 as possible focus for cIDF, SMPTE, etc. Legacy identifiers (ISBN, ISSN, etc) –common issues for identifiers Work with new identifiers (e.g. ISTC; E- books) Major issue: mindshare support for standards: avoid fragmentation Other key activities (2)

33. 33 Workshops Prototypes New working groups (E mail lists) proposed: –Handle/resolution –Identifiers/metadata –Information interchange Community involvement

34. 34 genres: articulation and development –metadata declarations multiple resolution: services –Service@DOI:10.1000/182 –e.g. Rights@DOI:10.1000/182 (YBP, 1998) –e.g Metadata@….. * Services will drive applications rights * Rights services will drive killer apps outreach to i.p. communities commonality of identifier/ metadata/ i.p.issues communities The future

35. 35 To be investigated: Metadata pointer for all DOIs (kernel) XML schema for genre metadata List of other desired services and policies Registry of data types = service (and tools) Registry of genres Tools to make all this easier Multiple resolution: services

36. 36 Consistency: no major U turns Progress: development and implementation Conceptual integrity Practical results; and development More to be done on advocacy More to be done on applications, developments - this workshop DOI: Review of progress
