[x3d-public] Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system and DOIs

[vmarchetti at kshell.com]

This concept is anagramatically related to OID , also call object identifier, as specified in ISO/IEC 8824-1

There is an IEEE tutorial document at https://standards.ieee.org/content/dam/ieee-standards/standards/web/documents/tutorials/oid.pdf

I have seen these applied to Parts of the STEP standard, for example STEP AP 242 2014 revision has oid: { iso standard 10303 part(242) version(1) }

A 'gotcha' when working with these is that, at least for the 8824-1 identifiers, you can't assume that a document has a unique OID; for a standard supported by multiple standards organizations,  each can assign it a separate OID.

While the OID's are used for standards and other documents, and can also refer to components of a document (paragraphs, clauses) I have not seen them applied to STEP files, those containing 3D models and other PMI; but I also haven't seen a statement that they couldn't or shouldn't be used for that purpose.

DOIs are administered by the DOI Foundation as registration authority for ISO standard 26324. DOI resolution is also governed by IETF RFC 4452, The "info" URI Scheme for Information Assets with Identifiers in Public Namespaces (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4452).
