********************************************************************
The DOI is a system for interoperably identifying and exchanging
intellectual property in the digital environment. A DOI 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 to registration agencies
and technology providers and advises on usage and development of
related services and technologies. The DOI system uses open standards
with a standard syntax (ANSI/NISO Z39.84) and is currently used by
leading international technology and content organizations.
This is a service announcement from the International Digital Object
Identifier Foundation and has been prepared to increase your
awareness about important developments to enable digital copyright
management of intellectual property. For more information, please
