16. Several RAs now appointed (CrossRef, CDI, Enpia) –CrossRef proven, successful: real –More RAs on the way –Asian interest Consistent development and deepening of functionality (Handbook, Namespace, EB, SDI) and business model Excellent reviews and perception More links with other sectors, other initiatives More is happening (more participation) Have delivered on our promise Summary: what can be happy about? doi>

18. Funding not keeping pace with activities –growing, but not as fast as planned –we have had to cut back on efforts –new members, but also existing non-renewals: economic climate (esp TMT) now biting –not deep enough (text/technology sectors) Slower than desired expansion: –not broad enough (non-text sectors): significant interest but not $ Still some misperceptions –Seen as neither a standards organisation nor a commercial solution killer plumbing: infrastructure a hard sell Summary: what are the problems? doi>

20. Membership development Several small companies (E Books) committed through DOI-EB working group, but unable to follow through Increase in non-renewals recently –"We think it's very good - but we have budget constraints" Introduced Affiliate participation fee ($5K) –Working groups for specific interests Difficult sell in current environment –Its a great thing, and well use it - but not fund it –CFOs want cuts The co-operation paradox; long term gain versus short term cuts

22. The "X" in What's Next But Forrester may be doing more than just trying to unhitch itself from the crazy train of the Web. In some ways, the veteran research firm's latest move shows the analyst business at its finest: giving the industry a rosy spot on the horizon to focus on, a clever name for that spot and a forecast with lots of zeroes in it to throw investors and entrepreneurs into a frenzy. The Industry Standard, May 28 2001

24. One of the most important things a formal property system does is transform assets from a less accessible condition to a more accessible condition, so that they can do additional work. Unlike physical assets, representations are easily combined, divided, mobilized, and used to stimulate business deals. By uncoupling the economic features of an asset from their rigid, physical state, a representation makes the asset "fungible" - able to be fashioned to suit practically any transaction. doi> Our aim: Building infrastructure The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Succeeds in the West and Fails Everywhere Else by Hernando de Soto (2000)

27. 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 2000) Marketing: Perceptions and feedback doi>

29. E-Books: AAP Open E-Book Standards Project recommends DOI, ISBN (27 Nov 2000) the endorsement of DOI by book publishers is a big boost to DOI, which until now has been embraced by the journal community and largely ignored by everyone else. DOI makes a lot of sense, not only for protecting copyright but also for creating links to published material whose URL may not be known (e.g. because it's in a database or protected by firewall). Perhaps if magazine, newspapers and yes, even Web-only publishers, take notice, we could begin to see a consistent document-identification scheme implemented worldwide."

41. doi> Functionality: Tools for metadata DOI-Namespace: a data dictionary structured on principles, with controlled values for "DOI- Application Profiles". Publication of this data dictionary in a format that allows developers access to it Design of a process for continuing maintenance Integration of this with real RA use; ONIX etc. Development of a metadata registry for automated online interoperability is likely to be the ultimate outcome (ONIX/DC/MARC/SCORM etc) Much work done - more to be done Discussions underway with potential partners

42. doi> Functionality: Default RA Development of our in-house Registration Agency function Currently CNRI, who have helped with getting RAs off the ground. Need to add, to DOI deposit, the metadata management functions Develop this in such a way that: –we have control over it –it does not compete with RAs but aids them –it does not become the RA –it might be available to others in a box ($) It is usable for in-house experimentation

43. doi> Functionality: DOI Services One to many: DOI Discussion paper : DOI is an actionable identifier: clicking on a DOI achieves some action. In the initial implementation, this is a single action: clicking on a DOI takes a user to one URL. We refer to this as "one-to-one". "One-to-many" implies one DOI may be used to achieve many possible actions. This is the aim of the full DOI implementation. Approaches: –DOI-EB making use of multiple resolution –DOI- Service Definition Interface
