30	"Costs : need for human..." Costs : need for human intervention and support of an infrastructure. The DOI system operates on the basis that such costs are borne by the assigner of the DOI. Number and metadata registration (maintenance of resolution destinations; declaration of metadata; validation of number syntax and of metadata; liaison with the IDF registry) Infrastructure (resolution service maintenance, scaling and further development; customer guidance and outreach; marketing; administration) Governance (common "rules of the road"; further development and support of the system) The way in which these costs are recouped depends on the application.
31	"DOIs are assigned on behalf..." DOIs are assigned on behalf of registrants (content owners and other bodies) by approved DOI Registration Agencies (RAs). These RAs contribute to the IDF to support the infrastructure (technical and social) which underpins the DOI system. The IDF charges RAs a fee which is part fixed (currently $35K) and part varied (currently $0.04 /DOI) – aiming to reduce this as volume increases RAs are free to establish their own business model for the allocation of DOIs. Value-added services offered by a DOI RA will include more than simple provision of a DOI: data, content or rights management. DOI RAs may also choose to collaborate with others in business agreements and services, as well as use the generic facilities offered by interoperability features of DOIs. Business models could include free DOI allocation So there is no single business model applicable to all DOI RAs, consequently no single answer to the question of how a DOI is paid for and what it costs.
