It's an alternative to URLs, which is supposed to be more stable than URLs. For example, a DOI to a paper published in 2002 is still supposed to work, even if the paper's publisher has moved or has changed their website. In practice, I've found that DOIs are more stable than ordinary URLs, but they still don't always work; my guess is that publishers occasionally go bankrupt or stop paying the DOI clearinghouse or whatever. Here's a DOI: 10.1007/978-3-642-24418-6_13 You can convert it to a URL like this: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-24418-6_13 This points to the following paper: Bergquist M, Ljungberg L, Rolandsson B.
