Some projects, like DOI: The Digital Identifier System, an identification system for digital media, will enable automated copyright management systems.

Hearing an automated voice telling him of a disconnected number, he cowered into the crowd and seemed to wither there. He envisaged this as if it could be transcribed into art and as if he, a retired has-been who had merely reproduced whores and slight thematic variations of them, were the right one to depict it.

"The first generation gets along well with the weapons and equipment brought with them from Earth. They maintain the old ways.

In general terms, the MARC communication format is intended to be: " hospitable to all kinds of library materials; sufficiently flexible for a variety of applications in addition to catalogue production; and usable in a range of automated systems."
