- The Seven Levels of Identification: An Overview of the Current State of Identifying Objects within Digital Libraries Hakala, Juha Electronic Libraries Identification Electronic Publishing Models Standards Purpose: This article aims to describe the state of the art of bibliographic identifiers used in digital libraries. Design/methodology/approach: A model with seven layers is used to define the scope of the identifiers that exist within the digital library field. Findings: Based on an analysis of the identifiers a conclusion is drawn that many new identifiers must be developed in order to cater to the growing needs of libraries and other organisations involved with creation and dissemination of publications. Also, traditional identifiers must be modified in order to make them more suitable to the needs of electronic publishing. Originality/value: A useful overview of the work of international standards bodies in the area of identification of digital objects.
