== Description == The noid utility creates minters (identifier generators) and accepts commands that operate them. Once created, a minter can be used to produce persistent, globally unique names for documents, databases, images, vocabulary terms, etc. Properly managed, these identifiers can be used as long term durable information object references within naming schemes such as ARK, PURL, URN, DOI, and LSID. At the same time, alternative minters can be set up to produce short-lived names for transaction identifiers, compact web server session keys, and other ephemera. NOID is developed by the California Digital Library. == User Experiences == <!-- Add hotlinks to user experiences with the tool (eg. blog posts). These should illustrate the effectiveness (or otherwise) of the tool. Use a bullet list. --> == Development Activity == <!-- Provide *evidence* of development activity of the tool. For example, RSS feeds for code issues or commits. --> <!-- Add the OpenHub.com ID for the tool, if known. -->
