DOI currently uses handles as its technical infrastructure. If you use DOI, you do not need to manage the handle server, DOI manages it and you have to manager metadata.
You have to pay for DOIs. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Marlow Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 12:58 AM To: DSpace General Subject: [Dspace-general] Do I have to pay for all handles used in DSpace? I am thinking about the handles used in DSpace and the relationship between them and DOIs. I see that handles get used for all landing pages, not just articles but journal homepage as well. This is nice and consistent but I wonder what it means for a repository that uses DOIs as handles. So far I have not used a public handle server but just used internal handles. I would like to hear from DSpace users that have used external handles. How do they relate to DOIs? I would like to load my DSpace with articles that have amonst their metadata a DOI. Effectively this is the handle, though it is not a CNRI handle. Is it possible to make the input DOI the handle? What implication does this have for journal homepages that do not have DOIs? In that case my DSpace would have to use a CNRI handle I suppose...... -- Regards, Andrew M. http://www.andrewpetermarlow.co.uk
