Crossref DOIs are considered to function at the abstract work level, facilitating linked data integration.
The conversation centers on how DOIs might interact within the framework of linked data systems.
This perspective challenges traditional notions of how works are identified and referenced.
Understanding DOIs as identifiers for works could enhance data interoperability across platforms.

Implication

Discussion highlights the application of Crossref DOIs at the work level, suggesting implications for linked data.

Abstract

Tony's recent thread on making DOIs play nicely in a linked data world has raised an issue I've meant to discuss here for some time- a lot of the thread is predicated on the idea that Crossref DOIs are applied at the abstract "work" level.
