#ISBN is a centralized system, you even have to pay not insignificant amount of money to get a number.
I can't even figure out how to self-assign a #DOI .
Is there anything else that helps identify #publications that doesn't have gatekeepers?
Like some equivalent of a #torrent infohash?
Would a #blockchain solution solve problems like collisions easier than any alternatives?
