Primes¶
- Identity Test
- The bibliographic tradition of stable identifiers transferred into research-data infrastructure, each scheme defining a domain-specific identity test for a kind — publication, person, organization, project — with persistent global resolvability.
This sourceDescribes persistent-identifier schemes defining domain-specific identity tests for kinds (publication, person, organization) with global resolvability.
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
Paskin describes persistent, unique, resolvable identifier schemes in the bibliographic tradition (ISBN, DOI); per-kind identity tests and research-data uptake are not covered.
“Uniqueness is the requirement that one string denotes one and only one entity”
- The bibliographic tradition of stable identifiers transferred into research-data infrastructure, each scheme defining a domain-specific identity test for a kind — publication, person, organization, project — with persistent global resolvability.
- Persistent Identifier
- In scientific data infrastructure it is the family of resolver-backed identifier systems for publications, datasets, researchers, institutions, sequences, and structures.
This sourceDescribes the DOI as a managed, opaque, resolver-backed identifier maintained by funded registration agencies, contrasted with location-bound URLs and link rot.

Paskin covers the DOI as a resolver-backed identifier for publications and data sets, but not researchers, institutions, sequences, structures or a wider family of systems.
“text documents; data sets; sound carriers; books; photographs; serials”

- Registry-Mediated Discovery
- Phone directories and library catalogs: stable business names or call numbers map to current phone numbers or shelf locations as numbers change and stacks are rearranged. Publication and citation indexes: stable identifiers (DOIs, bibliographic keys) map to current canonical locations and citation networks.
This sourceStable DOIs resolve to current canonical locations independent of where content moves.

Paskin shows DOIs resolving to a content item's current URL after it moves; he says nothing of phone directories or library catalogs and little of citation networks.
“When the content, previously at URL xyz.com, is moved to a new URL newco.com, a single change in the DOI directory is made”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 3 of 3 citations: 3 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
