Abstract

This document criticises existing URN (Uniform Resource Name) proposals in the light of generality, extensibility, and general futureproofing. The idea is to draw upon the best characteristics of the existing proposals so as to converge on an acceptably functional and nonrestrictive draft specification for both URN syntax and resolution schemes.
