Digital Object Identifiers
To reference a document in some remote database where you don't have a permanent URL for it, the database might provide you with a Digital Object Identifier, e.g. 10.1109/WICSA.2005.35 which can be turned into a URL by prefixing the address of a certain server, e.g. http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/WICSA.2005.35
This will be espeically useful in referencing articles in past WICSA conference proceedings.
