I came here as well to recommend the DOI. So many nice things can be had by using this rather than your own IDs, it means that site now becomes a tool that composes with other tools.
- afandian 4y agoI'm always interested in hearing about less-than-mainstream uses of DOIs.
- sitkack 4y agoThe DOI is a natural foreign key, look at semantic scholar and the integrations that arxiv is doing in the bottom 1/3. You are generating your own IDs, so you won't compose with the rest of the ecosystem. Your keys mean nothing and given a handle to a paper, they can't reference your site.
