For example, if you don't want to rely on dx.doi.org as your gateway to the handle system for doi resolution, it would be quite easy for me to deploy my own gateway at dx.hellman.net. I might want to do this if a were an organization paranoid about security and didn't want to disclose to

Hi all, couldn't resist jumping in on this one: But appears that the handle system is quite a bit more fleshed out than a simple purl server, it's a distributed protocol-independent network. The protocol-independent part may or may not be useful, but it certainly seems like it could be,

The actual handle is 10.1074/jbc.M004545200 . If your software wants to get a handle to give it to any handle resolver of it's choice, it's going to have to parse the doi: or info: versions to get the handle out first. The info version is a URI that has a DOI handle embedded in it. The doi

Interesting stuff. I never really thought about it before that DOIs can be served up by the Handle server. E.G., http://dx.doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M004545200 = http://hdl.handle.net/10.1074/jbc.M004545200 But, even more surprising to me was realizing that Handles can be resolved by the DOI server.

What do you mean by a local resolver? If you're talking about a local handle resolver adhering to the handle spec... well, then it depends on the handle spec I guess, which I don't know. But since all the handle documetnation keeps saying like DNS, then I'd imagine it has similar (or better)
