International DOI Foundation Launches shortDOI(tm) Service The IDF has launched the shortDOI Service, a public service, open to anyone, that creates shortcuts to DOI names, which are often very long strings. The service creates short handles of the form '10/abcde' and enables short HTTP URIs of the form 'http://doi.org/abcde' that are ideal for use in email, blogs, mobile messaging and more. The IDF runs two services based on handles: the DOI Service, and the shortDOI Service. To use the shortDOI service, go to http://shortdoi.org. For more information see the DOI Tools page at http://www.doi.org/tools.html. --------------------------------------------------- The DOI(r) System is a system for interoperably identifying and exchanging intellectual property in the digital environment. A DOI(r) name assigned to content enhances a content producer's ability to trade electronically. It provides a framework for managing content in any form at any level of granularity, for linking customers with content suppliers, for facilitating electronic commerce, and enabling automated copyright management for all types of media. The International DOI Foundation, a non-profit organization, manages development, policy and licensing of the DOI System to registration agencies and technology providers and advises on usage and development of related services and technologies. This is a service announcement for the International DOI Foundation and has been prepared to inform you of important developments to enable digital copyright management of intellectual property. For more information about the DOI System, see http://www.doi.org or contact cont...@doi.org. To be unsubscribed from this mailing list, contact i...@doi.org.
