We foster Digital Object Architecture standards that enable interoperability between information systems, and make reference software implementations publicly available for further development and adoption.

We kickstart and engage in the application of the Digital Object Architecture across many countries, domains, and industries through pilot efforts that are in public interest.

We oversee the administration of the Global Handle Registry^®. We also credential stakeholders from various countries as Multi-Primary Administrators, who can then use or enable others to use identifier and resolution services using the Handle System.
