Dynamic Building of a Web Page Enriched with Metadata

On request of a user for a referent, Registration Agencies (RA) can dynamically build a web page displaying the metadata assigned to the respective DOI name. The metadata is provided by the RA's metadata service responsible for the respective DOI name. The address of this metadata service can be retrieved from the DOI record.

The figure below illustrates an application where each product of a building structure is identified through a DOI name which is printed on the physical product in the form of a QR code. When a user scans the QR code, they are redirected to a product landing page where they can quickly find all the most up-to-date information on a product.
