OK, looks like I'll be the odd one out here. Let me ask a few questions: * What will the DOI(s) be used for that the canonical URLs can not? * What capability do the DOIs have that the canonical URLs do not? * How will you resolve the duality of two canonical references, one being the DOI and the other being the canonical URL? * How will the DOIs representing different versions be recognizably different versions of the same entity/publication? * How will the DOIs be recognizably associated with the CF conventions, without having to actually resolve them? (This, at least, there is a known answer to, just want to be sure we are leveraging it.)
I know the community likes DOIs, but I'm not convinced there is any analytical advantage to the function provided by the DOIs. -- You are receiving this because you commented.
