An interface for creating, registering, and resolving content-based
identifiers for data management. Content-based identifiers rely on
the 'cryptographic' hashes to refer to the files they identify, thus,
anyone possessing the file can compute the identifier using a
well-known standard algorithm, such as 'SHA256'.  By registering
a URL at which the content is accessible to a public archive (such as
Hash Archive) or depositing data in a scientific repository such 'Zenodo',
'DataONE' or 'SoftwareHeritage', the content identifier can serve
many functions typically associated with A Digital Object Identifier
('DOI').  Unlike location-based identifiers like 'DOIs', content-based
identifiers permit the same content to be registered in many locations.
