Beside handle and DOIs there are other persistent identifier systems. The German National Library supports URN:NBN:DE for several years now. Some years ago it was mandatory to use URN:NBN:DE to deliver doctoral thesis and other digital publications (see above) to the German National Library. This changed! The German National Library accepts Handles or DOIs as well. If you want to you still can generate and register URNs, but this will need some changes within DSpace. There are several implementations to use URN:NBN:DE together with DSpace, but there is no implementation yet that uses the Identifier Service which came up with DSpace 3. Please ask on the German DSpace Mailing list if you have further interest in this topic. Please feel free to add information here about using urn:nbn:de together with DSpace if you're able to.
