A DOI aims to be "resolvable", usually to some form of access to the information object to which the DOI refers. This is achieved by binding the DOI to [[metadata]] about the object, such as a [[URL]], indicating where the object can be found. Thus, by being actionable and [[Interoperability|interoperable]], a DOI differs from identifiers such as [[ISBN]]s and [[ISRC]]s which aim only to identify their referents uniquely. The DOI system uses the [[indecs Content Model]] for representing metadata. | A DOI aims to be "resolvable", usually to some form of access to the information object to which the DOI refers.
