I was browsing the web today and came across this document which may be
helpful (or not so helpful) background for those attending the elibdev
meeting on persistent resource identification this Friday. It is an Internet
Draft of a IETF URI Working Group paper on "Uniform Resource Names". From
the introduction...
> A Uniform Resource Name (URN) is an identifier which can be
> used to uniquely identify a resource, and is designed to
> provide persistent naming for networked objects. This name
> would stay the same no matter what the current location(s) of
> the object was.

See you Friday,
