About

The Global Object Identifier (GOI) is a unique alphanumeric code assigned to digital and physical objects to ensure their permanent, unambiguous identification across platforms, systems, and locations worldwide. It functions as a persistent reference, allowing objects—such as datasets, publications, artworks, research materials, products, or other digital assets—to be reliably cited, tracked, and retrieved without confusion or duplication. Unlike ordinary identifiers that may be system- or organization-specific, the GOI is globally standardized, interoperable, and designed to integrate with metadata frameworks, making it a trusted solution for long-term referencing.
By using GOIs, creators, publishers, and institutions can guarantee that their objects remain discoverable, citable, and accessible across diverse digital ecosystems, even if the object’s location or ownership changes.

  • Uniqueness and Persistence

    Each GOI is globally unique and remains permanently assigned to an object, ensuring reliable referencing even if the object changes its location or ownership.

  • Traceability and Accessibility

    With a GOI, objects can be easily located, cited, and tracked over time, supporting discoverability and long-term access.

  • Metadata Integration

    GOIs are linked with descriptive metadata, providing essential information (such as creator, title, version, and date) that enhances discoverability, authenticity, and proper attribution.

Commonly asked questions

By offering concise and informative responses, this section helps users quickly find solutions to common questions about the Global Object Identifier (GOI) without the need to contact support, saving time and ensuring a smoother experience.

A Global Object Identifier (GOI) is a unique, permanent code assigned to an object—digital or physical—that ensures it can always be identified, cited, and retrieved without confusion, regardless of changes in location or ownership.

The GOI prevents duplication, supports long-term accessibility, and guarantees that objects remain discoverable and traceable across platforms, making it an essential tool for researchers, institutions, and organizations.

While systems such as the DOI are widely used in academic publishing, the GOI is designed to be broader, more inclusive, and applicable to a wider range of objects, both digital and physical.

Researchers, institutions, publishers, and organizations can register their objects for a GOI through the designated registration system.

Any digital or physical object that requires a permanent and traceable identity can receive a GOI. Examples include research articles, datasets, books, products, artworks, and institutional records.

Yes. Once assigned, a GOI is permanent and cannot be reused or reassigned, ensuring long-term stability and trust.

Each GOI is connected to descriptive metadata—such as title, creator, version, and date—which provides context and ensures proper attribution and discoverability.

Yes. GOIs are globally interoperable and can be used, recognized, and cited across international systems, databases, and repositories.
