FDOI

FDOI is an acronym that can refer to multiple concepts depending on the context. It is used in different domains to denote distinct ideas or standards.

In stamp collecting, FDOI is sometimes used to signify First Day of Issue, the date on which a postage stamp or related item is officially released by the postal authorities. Collectors and dealers may note FDOI on covers or in catalogs to indicate the item’s issuance date and philatelic significance.

In information management and digital bibliographic contexts, FDOI has appeared as an abbreviation for Federal Digital Object Identifier. This usage describes the idea of applying persistent, DOI-like identifiers to United States federal government digital assets to improve citation, retrieval, interoperability, and long-term access. The exact scope and adoption of such identifiers have varied across agencies and projects, with discussions occurring in standards and governance forums.

Because FDOI can have domain-specific meanings, readers may encounter other definitions in different fields. If you have a particular domain in mind, specifying it can help identify the precise meaning and usage of FDOI in that context.
