DOIs provide persistent identification, enabling easier access to research data.  They have additional value when stored in product metadata. Researchers that acquire product data files should be able use the DOI to find the definitive documentation from NASA’s Scientific and TechnicalInformation archives. Adding DOIs to product metadata will also enable tools for provenance tracking – help find more information about the creation of the data product.  This increases verification and validation of scientific results.  DOIs can increase the potential for scientific data citations.
DOIs are resolved by entering the full DOI name into http://dx.doi.org/.  Entering the DOI name in the "doi" and clicking "Go" will take the user to the product landing page that corresponds to the product that goes with that DOI.
