I thought thats why we had urls not only IP addresses ..
which reminds me, who has control over DOI.org ... eg. is it DOGE-safe ? likewise arXiv .. can it easily be co-opted / subsumed ?

I’ve met the folks behind DOI. Very nice people (Jonathan Clark in particular).
It’s an independent foundation and they have backups/contingency plans established with major universities to preserve the DOI records in the event the foundation fails.

.. we need a Foundation .. and a second Foundation :]
It's just like O'Brien always said.. you've _got_ to have a redundant backup.
(Third foundation?)
Their whole organisation should have been a hash function...
DOI must die
Should be done with Web3.

Maybe it would be better to identify papers via a hash of their contents so that there's nothing to co-opt.
... theres an argument to having arXiv paper hashes, and/or important digitalia checksums put on a blockchain.
