Summary
Digital Object Architecture (DOA) is an advanced and open architecture that provides a means for enhanced information management. It was designed to enable all types of information, whether public, private, or a combination thereof, to be managed in a network environment over potentially long time-frames.
The Digital Object Numbering Authority (DONA) technically coordinates, implements and develops DOA. The DONA Foundation has agreed along with the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) that all CNRI's rights, titles, interests, and intellectual property rights (IPRs) required for the operation of the Global Handle Registry (GHR), and also certain licensing rights concerning IPRs to be assigned to ITU.
On 6 June 2014, ITU and the DONA Foundation signed an MoU - 'Master Framework Agreement' - to set up a new and enduring organizational home for the Global Handle Registry (GHR), creating a stable platform for developing and evolving DOA in the interests of the public and with the mission of promoting interoperability across heterogeneous information systems.
Following Article 1 of the Constitution of the International Telecommunication Union and relevant Resolutions of the Plenipotentiary Conference, TSB has identified different uses of DOA for promoting and extending the benefits gained from telecommunications and ICTs, including safety, combating counterfeit devices and products and addressing environmental issues such as e-waste.
