Full Title
Z39.84 ANSI/NISO Z39.84 - Syntax for the Digital Object Identifier
Description
A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is an interoperable digital persistent identifier for a piece of intellectual property which is actionable on a digital network. Unlike a url it identifies the actual object, not just the location where it can be found. DOIs can be assigned at different levels of granularity eg a book, a chapter or a page.
DOI is an implementation of the Handle System technology developed by the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI). DOIs are available from a DOI Registration Agency and there is usually an associated fee.

Tools and Services Catalogue
The catalogue was created to address the myriad challenges facing those who engage with data. Focusing on software and services that directly perform curation and management tasks, the catalogue splits the resources into five major categories, based on the intended user and the stage of the data lifecycle in which it will be most useful.
