Do ESBNs support Digital Object Identifier (DOI)?Yes; however, DOI Registration Agencies (RAs) can charge anything that want for DOI registrations. ESBN.ORG supports unlimited "DOI-like" registrations at no cost once the ESBN has been generated.
DRM提出ESBN:Digital ownership can be controlled through ESBNs not ISBNs?因为在ESBN网站中有一个声明:“Web 2.0 DRM & Copyright Solutions”。
