I've had another request for this via e-mail, so it may well make an appearance. I'm going to look around to see how commonly used they are online (and whether they fall inside 80/20). If it turns out that they fall outside 80/20, you could still include them using the url property and a URL like http://dx.doi.org/10.1000/182, or it becomes approved as a URI/URN scheme doi:10.1000/182 or urn:doi:10.1000/182.

- It may be that ISBN/ISSN/EISSN end up as url too. TobyInk 05:22, 11 Aug 2008 (PDT)
  - Problem: ISSNs and EISSNs share the same namespace. There does not appear to be a way of differentiating between them without a property to signify which is which.
- SICI/BICI could be added similarly. TobyInk 05:49, 11 Aug 2008 (PDT)
- And I'd add some text to the spec on the url property suggesting that parsers SHOULD recognise URIs matching particular patterns as special identifiers and be able to extract the ISBN/ISSN/EISSN/SICI/BICI/DOI/etc. A list of such patterns (e.g. http://dx.doi.org/%s would be provided in the spec.
