Summary: Automatic DOI linking, similar to PMID, RFC, and ISBN
Product: MediaWiki Feature Request
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Feature_Request
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Please add automatic DOI linking to the MediaWiki software, similar to the
already implemented "magic words" PMID (PubMed ID), RFC (IETF Request for
Comments), and ISBN.
The Digital Object Identifier (DOI;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier) has become the major
identifier for (scientific) publications. It is more widespread and universal
than the PubMed identifier (PMID) that covers mainly the biomedical field. The
official DOI resolving service under http://dx.doi.org leads directly to the
linked article through browser redirects in a single step. This is a major
advantage and time saver over the PMID abstract linking.
The software should link the official DOI format
"doi:10.1111/j.1526-4610.2007.00665.x" to
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1526-4610.2007.00665.x (the DOI string after "doi:"
is compatible with the URI scheme and can be added without alterations to the
resolver's host name).
