Hi all. Recently I've been using DOIs to refer to publications that are available on the internet (e.g. [[Galena officinalis]]). I'm impressed with the handling of ISBN book codes. I was wondering if there would be support for implementing a similar measure to handle DOIs. Every DOI code can be decrypted by prefacing it with the URL [http://dx.doi.org/] - the bit after the slash is automically interpreted, and the DOI site links through to the resource. Any ideas? How do I go about having this implemented?

Could you give some examples?
From your description it may be sufficient to assign an interwiki prefix.

It seems an interwikiprefix would do fine: [[doi:abcd]] resolves to http://dx.doi.org/abcd
Maybe we should ask if we can get DOIs for each wikipedia article? As some kind of fallback static URL? I'm not sure who would use it, though, and if we can get these for free...
