DOI
Digital Object Identifiers (DOI)
Scope
- This wiki page summarises relevant facts about DOI and related persistent Identifiers (PID) for the OSGeo communities.
- A DOI is a persistent identifier (PID).
- More infomation about PID for OSGeo is available here in the wiki
Useful background information
- Introduction to DOI (NASA)
- DOI registration 101 @ UC Berkeley (wayback machine memento)
- Introduction to the Zenodo open access repository
- Zenodo FAQ
HowTo information about ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID -> a PID for people)
- ORCID FAQ
- ORDID introduction video
- HOWTO: Register an ORCID (Video tutorial)
- How to set up an ORCID account for credit propagation (e.g. Version-DOI of OSGeo project software releases will automagically appear in the "works" section of the associated ORCID accounts)
