[Dspace-general] Do I have to pay for all handles used in DSpace?

[Han, Yan]

DOI currently uses handles as its technical infrastructure. If you use
DOI, you do not need to manage the handle server, DOI manages it and you
have to manager metadata. 

 

You have to pay for DOIs.

I am thinking about the handles used in DSpace and the relationship
between them and DOIs. I see that handles get used for all landing
pages, not just articles but journal homepage as well. This is nice and
consistent but I wonder what it means for a repository that uses DOIs as
handles. So far I have not used a public handle server but just used
internal handles. I would like to hear from DSpace users that have used
external handles. How do they relate to DOIs?

I would like to load my DSpace with articles that have amonst their
metadata a DOI. Effectively this is the handle, though it is not a CNRI
handle. Is it possible to make the input DOI the handle? What
implication does this have for journal homepages that do not have DOIs?
In that case my DSpace would have to use a CNRI handle I suppose......
