About DOI Identifier
From the official readme · v1.0Description
The DOI for a document remains fixed over the lifetime of the document, whereas its location and other metadata may change.
Referring to an online document by its DOI provides more stable linking than simply using its URL because if its URL changes, the publisher only needs to update the metadata for the DOI to link to the new URL.
