DOI Registration Agency

In 2005, the TIB became a non-commercial DOI registration agency for research data sets from the fields of technology/science and medicine. Additionally, the TIB also facilitates the registration of any kind of scientific contents resulting from publicly funded research in Europe.

The registration is always carried out in co-operation with so-called "data centres", institutions that are also responsible for quality assurance and for maintaining and storing the contents.
