6. We simply need the existing scholarly publishing ‘toolkit’: review mechanism metadata doi identifiers CrossRef

7. Here’s one OECD prepared earlier... “Chapter or article” level - complete with DOI “Book or issue” level - complete with DOI “Serial” level - complete with DOI So, whereas for books we have this:

14. Datasets can change. Our current solution is to give them a NEW identifier, explain the change in the metadata, and provide a link back to the original dataset. link
