Digital Object Identifiers for scientific data

Digital Object Identifiers for scientific data

The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a system for identifying content objects in the digital environment. DOIs are names assigned to any entity for use on Internet digital networks. Scientific data sets may be identified by DOIs, and several efforts are now underway in this area. This paper outlines the underlying architecture of the DOI system, and two such efforts which are applying DOIs to...

A Model for Data Citation in Astronomical Research using Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)

Standardizing and incentivizing the use of digital object identifiers (DOIs) to aggregate and identify both data analyzed and data generated by a research project will advance the field of astronomy to match best practices in other research fields like geosciences and medicine. Increase in the use of DOIs will prepare the discipline for changing expectations among funding agencies and publisher...

Math Object Identifiers - Towards Research Data in Mathematics

We propose to develop a system of “Math Object Identifiers” (MOIs: digital object identifiers for mathematical concepts, objects, and models) and a process of registering them. These envisioned MOIs constitute a very lightweight form of semantic annotation that can support many knowledge-based workflows in mathematics, e.g. classification of articles via the objects mentioned or object-based se...
