DOI® Handbook
doi:10.1000/186
 
The DOI® Handbook is the primary source of information about the DOI® System. It discusses the components and operation of the system, and provides a central point of reference for technical information. The current version is Version 4.4.1 (first released 5 October 2006). Version 5 is underway. The DOI name 10.1000/182 identifies the current version of the Handbook.
The main chapters of the Handbook give a complete explanation of the DOI System. The Handbook moves from an overview, through an explanation of each of the components of the system, to detail on how applications are built and the operation of the system through IDF and its Registration Agencies.
Comments about the Handbook are welcome and should be sent to Dr. Norman Paskin at contact@doi.org.
