The single resolution function of the DOI System consists in returning to the requester the location stored as an URL element in the DOI record. With the DOI Proxy,  the requester is redirected to this URL through an HTTPS request (see Direct Redirection to a Web Resource with the DOI Proxy). The process is as follows:

1.A user sends a DOI name resolution request to a DOI resolver.

2.The DOI resolver sends a resolution request of the DOI name to the GHR. The GHR redirects the resolver to the responsible DOI LHS which returns the DOI record to the resolver.

3.The DOI resolver retrieves the first URL element it finds in the list of DOI record elements and returns this URL to the requester.
