This document discusses the ETH Zurich DOI Desk, which was established between 2008-2012 as part of a Swiss collaboration project. It serves as the registration agency for research data in Switzerland, assigning DOIs and monitoring their use. The desk is a member of DataCite and CrossRef and follows technical standards to register DOIs through its Handle Server and integrate them into the global DOI system. It outlines the workflows and requirements for clients to register and manage DOIs, such as providing Dublin Core metadata and ensuring digital objects are accessible via URLs. Examples of clients include the ZORA open access repository and World Glacier Monitoring Service.
