ONIX DOI® Name Registration FormatsThrough its collaboration with mEDRA and Nielsen BookData as DOI Registration Agencies, EDItEUR has developed a collection of DOI name registration formats allowing publishers and others to communicate the metadata required by a Registration Agency in order to record the assignment of a DOI name. The formats have also been adopted by OPOCE, the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities.The formats allow a DOI name to be assigned at "work" or "manifestation" level to a variety of types of material: whole monographs, chapters or parts of monographs, serials, serial issues, or serial contributions. Other types of material are expected to be added in due course. The complete collection of formats is covered by a single XML schema, accompanied by separate specifications for each type of material. The specfications can be viewed or downloaded here in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format:
