Info Uniform Resource Identifier
The "info" URI Scheme for Information Assets with Identifiers in Public Namespaces is a new Internet-Draft.
This document defines the "info" Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme for information assets that have identifiers in public namespaces that are not part of the URI allocation. By information asset this document intends any information construct - i.e. any abstraction or manifestation - that has identity within a public namespace.There exist many information assets with identifiers in public namespaces that are not referenceable by URI schemes. Examples of such namespaces include Dewey Decimal Classifications [DEWEY], Library of Congress Control Numbers [LCCN], NASA Astrophysics Data System Bibcodes [BIBCODE], and Open Archives Initiative identifiers [OAI].NISO is to be the registry.
