Abstract

In March 2007, ISTIC and Wanfang Data jointly launched a Chinese DOI Registration Agency. The two organizations conducted R&D on DOI and developed a platform namely a Chinese DOI Registration Center to promote and spread Chinese DOI. In addition, they have carried out some relevant research projects in domestic and international cooperation centering on the DOI platform. In this article, we firstly introduced a general strategic view of the projects related to Chinese DOI where ISTIC and Wanfang Data took the lead. Secondly, we introduced some national projects and standardization activities related to Chinese DOI. The projects include R&D on the Chinese DOI system, an international collaboration with American CNRI Handle System, the Key STM Journal Project of the Ministry of Scientific and Technology of the PRC, a preliminary study of the "digital object identifier" standard system of the General Administration of Press and Publication of the PRC, copyright protection studies of Copyright Protection Center of China based on DOI.
