color=#0000ff size=2>Concerning your perpetuity/sustainability questions, DOIs
can be transferred from one organization to another should something happen to
the journal/publisher/organization that minted the DOI in the first place.
Also, DOIs live on in perpetuity should the organization discontinue its
membership. It's also my understanding that if CrossRef (as but one of
several DOI registration agencies) goes out of business then the DOIs continue
to be resolved via the International DOI Foundation, just without all the
bibliometric services that CrossRef provides (this cites that, this has been
cited n times). That's the reason for the per-piece charge - you're buying
into a resolution service for that object & its identifier that considers
persistence over time to be of paramount importance.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

second Rod’s “V. cool!” proclamation! I think this has the potential to
solve a lot of problems with DOIs (particularly for the old literature).
It doesn’t solve all the problems (e.g., we still need to define the
article-level units within BHL content, and we’ll still need to establish a
system of GUIDs that can be applied to sub-article units, such as treatments),
but in the vast majority of cases, the DOIs will be the ticket into the services
of CrossRef.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Question for Rod/Chris/anyone else concerning DOIs: Does the annual fee
only apply to the ability to mint DOIs within a given year, or does it also
apply to resolving them? Put another way, if BHL stops paying its annual
fee sometime in the future, will the already-minted DOI’s be resolvable into
perpetuity, or will they stop being resolved at that
point?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
