Using a DOI
DOIs are resolved using the Handle System developed by CNRI (Corporation for National Research Initiatives).
Retrieval of object is two step process: link is sent to central Handles directory where current Web address is stored, location is sent back to browser with special message to redirect to address, e.g:
- dx.doi.org/10.1063/333 redirects to www.pub.org/apr99/artl1.pdf
