For digital objects registered via the DOA infrastructure, attribute inheritance is enabled between related objects using naming conventions for the handle IDs or data models for handle data. Each child object of a parent object may automatically inherit at least one predetermined attribute of the parent object. When a retriever machine (local handle registry or client machine) obtains a handle ID for a digital object, the retriever machine may determine that the digital object is a child object of a parent object, determine a handle ID for the parent object, obtain the author attribute from the handle data of the parent object, and associate the author attribute of the parent object with the child object. The retriever machine may determine that the digital object is a child object of the parent object via naming conventions for handle IDs or via data models for the handle data.
