DOI registrant field[edit]

Could we document DOI registrants in Wikidata?

Journals typically register with the International DOI Foundation and acquire a registrant ID of the form "doi:10.XXXX/" (where the "X"s are digits) to which they append specific identifiers, which indicate individual articles etc..

If academic journals could contain a field called "DOI registrant" containing "doi:10.XXXX/" (e.g. BMJ seems to be "doi:10.1136/"), it would be really useful for other Wikidata items and referencing tools; w:Template:Cite_journal regularly uses DOIs, and there are Wikipedia citations consisting solely of a DOI. Some non-journals like Figshare are also DOI registrants.

There are good open DOI APIs, so my guess is that this is not best done manually; does anyone know of a tool that could readily be made to do this? See also DOI official nomenclature. HLHJ (talk) 11:37, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
