/ "E.L. Willighagen" <egonw@sci.kun.nl> was heard to say:
| Question: How can i best store DOI numbers of published articles
| in bibliographic references?
> What's a DOI number?
DOI is the abbrev for Digital Object Identifier (http://www.doi.org/)
The idea is that every article will have a unique DOI by which it
is identified, thus making searching articles very easy... that is,
making references directly linkable to the *other* publishers website...
At http://www.doi.org/idf-member-list.html is a list of participants, and
you will notice that all major publishers are represented...
a DOI is thus to articles what ISBN is to journals...
Since i noticed there is a ISBN element, i like to propose a DOI element as well...
To bad that i just missed the 4.0 release...
