...and furthermore, Deborah Cross.
On reflection, I reckon that you'd be far better to spell out the term
and
avoid using the abbreviation of DOI at all, because in governmental
circles
(and in common use) that one is readily confused with the Department Of
Infrastructure.
IMNSHO, continuing to use DOI in any other context in this country would
just cause confusion.
Cheers,
