@neuralreckoning@neuromatch.social @brembs@mastodon.social Kinda maybe. DOI and/or ORCID "tables" could be hosted at any domain it looks like. They can refer to each other sort of like web links. So a document with a DOI record at doi.derp.org could have a bibliography refering to a document pointed at by a DOI record hosted at doi.herp.org.
But this isn't really "networking" so it's not "decentralized". It's kinda like an ISBN for a book or whatever.

@neuralreckoning@neuromatch.social @brembs@mastodon.social I think to be "decentralized" something like this would need to allow you to generate you own, guaranteed unique ID. That doesn't look like the protocol here. You ask an authority for an ID and they host the record for you.
