Nothing human is forever. What if the private organisation issuing DOIs collapse? What will happen of all the DOIs bought on the marketing-created assumption that it was stable? Or we should use only identifiers issued by organisations older than three centuries, on the assumption that they have demonstrated stability. A good example is ARKs (draft-kunze-ark) issued by the French National Library (prefix 12148), which was established in 1537 AD meaning it is probably here to stay. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
