What is DOI?What is DOI?
The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a mechanism which interoperably identifies and exchanges content in the digital environment. It is an identifier. One of the components is a syntax specification. It provides an extensible framework for managing content based on proven standards of digital object architecture. It is an open system-based tool founded on non-proprietary standards. It has the following features:
DOI is a persistent identifier – it differs from commonly used internet pointers such as the URL because it permanently identifies an object as an entity, it doesn’t just point to the place where the object is located.
DOI is an actionable identifier – the user can use the DOI to do something. Metadata associated with the DOI can provide price, usage and business ‘rules’ for using the content, for example.
DOI is an interoperable identifier – it has been designed to operate with past, present, and future technologies.
Benefits of DOIBenefits of DOI The DOI System offers a unique set of functionality:
Persistence – if content is/needs to be moved, rearranged or bookmarked;
Interoperability – with other data from other sources;
Extensibility – by adding new features and services through managing groups of DOI’s;
Single management – of data for multiple output formats (platform independence);
Class management – of applications and services;
Dynamic updating – of metadata, applications and services
CAL : A CASE STUDYCAL : A CASE STUDY
“COMMERCIALISATION OF A GOOD IDEA”
BY THE 1970’s – authors and publishers worried about the extent of “this new photocopying practice” in universities and schools
MANY WANTED TO STOP IT – but an idea for turning photocopying into a new business was set up – and CAL grew to be
the organisation it is today
CAL again sees itself, as a registration agency for DOI, in a position to define, and build, new businesses. But tools/technology not enough….services around these the key to success…..so it is,
generally, with all IP.

An Enhancement (substantial changes - new IP arises, but insertions & deletions unusable apart from original Work)
A Supplementary Work (new IParises – the new subject matter ismeaningful to some extent, withoutthe original Work)
A Compilation (each item has IP, provided substantial – in addition the Compilation attracts IP because of the effort in selecting & arranging)

4C’s (Capture, Consolidate, Control, Commercialise)
IP Audits are a key IP lifecycle management tool
IP discipline as key as that for financials – my starting point was that the same rigour and process applied to managing a company’s finances must be applied to its IP – the same ROI, efficiency, and performance focus is essential – business rules can be applied
IP as an Asset – must be subjected to the same thoroughness, management and treatment as other assets
Virtually 100% of businesses do not!
