. This
identification
is not related to its current location.

A typical use of a DOI is to give a
scientific
paper or
article
a unique number that can be used by anyone find the
location
of the paper. It may also make it possible to find an electronic copy, for example, on the
Internet
. The DOI system has a
DOI resolution system
which is used to locate where the document is. When the document is moved, the DOI resolution system is updated with the new location of the document.
