A
new International Standard that provides a system for assigning a unique
international identification code to objects for use on digital networks is expected
to bring benefits for publishers, information managers, multi-media
distributors, archive and cultural heritage communities, and the internet
technology industry.

Published
by ISO (International Organization for Standardization), ISO 26324:2012, Information and documentation --
Digital object identifier system,
is an efficient means of identifying an entity over the Internet and used
primarily for sharing with an interested user community or managing as
intellectual property.

A
DOI name is an identifier of an entity – physical, digital or abstract – on
digital networks. It provides information about that object, including where
the object, or information about it, can be found on the Internet.

Applications
of the DOI system include (but are not limited to) managing information and
documentation location and access; managing metadata; facilitating electronic
transactions; persistent unique identification of any form of any data; and
commercial and non-commercial transactions.

"Unique
identifiers (names) are essential for the management of information in any
digital environment,” said Dr. Norman Paskin, Managing Agent of the
International DOI Foundation, and Convenor of the ISO group that developed the
standard. “Hence the DOI system is designed as a generic framework applicable
to any digital object, providing a structured, extensible means of
identification, description and resolution.”

“The
DOI system is designed for interoperability: that is to use, or work with,
existing identifier and metadata schemes. DOI names may also be expressed as a
URL, an e-mail address, other identifiers and descriptive metadata.”

ISO
26324:2012 gives the syntax, description and resolution functional components
of the digital object identifier system. It also gives the general principles
for the creation, registration and administration of DOI names.

The
DOI system was initiated by the International DOI Foundation (a not-for profit
member-based organization initiated by several publishing organizations) in
1998. The International DOI Foundation is the Registration Authority for ISO
26324. To date, some 60 million DOI names have been assigned to date, through a
growing federation of Registration Agencies around the world.

More
information is available on the Website of the International DOI Foundation,
including a list of frequently asked questions: www.doi.org

ISO
26324:2012, Information and
documentation -- Digital object identifier system,
was developed by ISO technical committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, subcommittee
SC 9, Identification
and description. It is available from ISO
national member institutes (see the complete list
with contact details). It may also be obtained directly from the ISO Central
Secretariat, price 92 Swiss francs respectively through the ISO Store
or by contacting the Marketing, Communication & Information department.

O Pessimismo Nacional (1907-1908) Manuel Laranjeira.

Acabo de comprar o volume da publicação dos quatro textos
que Manuel Laranjeira publicou entre Dezembro de 1907 e Janeiro de 1908 no
jornal “O Norte”. Publicação em fascículos na primeira página como era usual à
época. O “Pessimismo Nacional”, agora publicado em monografia é da editora
Opera Omnia e prefaciado por Miguel Real.

Para promover a
vontade de o ler, apenas cito das palavras de Manuel Laranjeira: “ num país
onde a inteligência é um capital inútil e onde o único capital deveras
produtivo é a falta de vergonha e a falta de escrúpulos”… “parece ser cada vez
mais fúnebre e mais indicativo de que vamos arrastados, violentamente
arrastados por um mau destino, para a irreparável falência e de que nos
afundamos definitivamente.”
