<div dir="ltr"><div>I am by no means an expert on DOIs. We do mint them at MAST for data collections and such. On the back-end STScI/MAST contracts with a third-party agent to create and maintain DOIs. The DOIs in effect have a prefix and some running identifier. If, for example, MAST were to create a DOI for v4.0, it would have an STScI prefix. I'm not sure if that is an issue. Or someone in an IAU capacity could go to a third-party provider (and inherit their prefix), but I suspect there would be some cost involved. It would be worth asking if the IAU generates it own DOIs when needed, but I have no idea who to ask about that. (I've never seen an org chart for the IAU.) <br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 15, 2020 at 12:00 PM <<a href="mailto:fitsbits-request@listmgr.nrao.edu">fitsbits-request@listmgr.nrao.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Send fitsbits mailing list submissions to<br>

Has anyone considered generating a DOI for the latest (v4.0) FITS standard<br>
document? The other versions (and the supporting papers, I guess) have a<br>
DOI by virtue of having been published in A&A. Having a DOI for v4.0 would<br>
make referencing the latest version of the standard a bit more, uh,<br>
standard.<br>

This sounds like a good idea to me. The standard should be <br>
referenceable. Who or what would be the appropriate agent to get the <br>
DOI? Its host? The IAU FITS Special Expert Group?<br>

Who has responsibility for this? If IAU Comm B2, a few of us remain on that OC (and IAU is wanting feedback about what we?ve been up to). If NASA FITS Support Office, who is the responsible party? Or somebody else? Apparently you?ve considered the issue, Dick, and I suspect most would be happy if you just went ahead and took care of this little detail ??<br>
<br>
I should say that the agenda for my PDS telecon tomorrow will include a DOI for the Catalina Sky Survey data set. I?d be happy to also write the one DOI to rule them all into our data, as well. Does v4.0 reference the other DOIs you mention?<br>
<br>
Perhaps needless to say, the old guard would likely support publishing v4.0 in A&A or elsewhere.<br>
