What is the relationship between a DOI name and other development efforts?
The International DOI Foundation is a member of some standards organizations, and maintains a number of liaisons or alliances through memberships and/or exchange of information with others, which allow us to act as a collaborative interface in discussions on standards and infrastructure development across the spectrum of intellectual property and technology communities. This provides advantages both to members of the Foundation (who may otherwise not be able to participate in all of these discussions) and to the strategic partners (who deal with IDF as a common voice for the intellectual property community in this area).
