Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are becoming the preferred method to link data from the scientific papers that use those data. DOIs are "minted" by trusted 3rd party organizations and provide a persistent identifier to a source of data. 

Our aim is to provide DOIs for products in the NRAO archive. The three sets below are the highest priority:

1) For "Collections" - final products from large projects. For example, VLASS or ALFALFA

2) For AUDI images

3) For VLA images (pipelined and user-driven).

Issues for discussion/consideration:

1) granularity - one DOI per FITS image, or per collection?

2) versioning - should we reissue a DOI if a new version of the product is archived?
