Robust Referencing with DOI

I’m doing some research this year and am coming across more and more use of the DOI.

This Robust Referencing for arts. Pretty cool. I like the thought of being able to include a “URI” for each reference, that will always resolve to that particular material.

It’s nice when reading a paper if the author(s) have included the details for that paper, and nicer still when you find one with a DOI included. You can include that DOI with your reference to the paper should you use it, and make it easier for others to quickly get at the paper, or at least the details, as above.

This isn’t a new idea though, as I read more I’m finding lots of references to ‘openurl‘.

Some quotes(ish)/paraphrases and references on the subject if you are new to it, from a podcast I listened to :

http://www.nature.com/index.html

Robust Referencing, at an abstract level, of a work. Not tied to a specific release, edition or part of a work, but the work as a whole.

Multiple Resolution is possible. i.e. to Articles, Books, etc over many versions, errata, images, video, text, etc etc etc, including smart awareness of updates!! (errata, new version/revision, etc)

Somebody else caught it and mentions openUrl @ http://onebiglibrary.net/story/crossover-event-jon-udell-and-tony-hammond-on-doi-etc

What about Purl ? [http://purl.org/] (no multiple resolution)

Connotea is like a social bookmarking site for scientists and academia, allowing users to reference online versions of publications, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connotea

Ericsson HM230dp ADSL Router

I have the above router at home and am using it as a backup device.

I never got any firmware upgrades for it, and finding nothing on-line or at any of the ericsson sites, I decided to e-mail them.

A very nice chap responded with the below in a matter of hours :

“The HM230 has reached end of support, you can find the latest firmware and documetation via the link below:
ftp://ftp.cpeps.ericsson.net/HM230/ “

I have downloaded all the files and will try the update later.

If you find the site unavailable, drop me a note, I may have them on backup for a time.

The are :
