Portico

Portico is pleased to announce that CrossRef has entered into an 
agreement with Portico to preserve its bibliographic and 
reference metadata. The agreement, which was initially announced 
as an "agreement in principle" in November 2010 
(http://www.crossref.org/01company/pr/news111610.html), will add 
bibliographic data with CrossRef Digital Object Identifiers 
(DOIs) for more than 46 million records from more than 3,400 
publishers to the Portico archive.
