Title : The "tdb" URI scheme: denoting described resources
Author(s) : L. Masinter
Filename : draft-masinter-dated-uri-06.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2009-07-12
This document defines a URI scheme, "tdb" ( standing for "Thing
Described By"). It provides a semantic hook for allowing anyone at
any time to mint a URI for anything that they can describe. Such
URIs may include a timestamp to fix the description at a given date
or time.
This URI scheme may reduce the need to define define new URN
namespaces merely for the purpose of creating stable identifiers. In
addition, they provide a ready means for identifying "non-information
resources" by semantic indirection -- a way of creating a URI for
anything.
Note
This document is not a product of any working group. Many of the
ideas here have been discussed since 2001. This document has been
discussed on the mailing list <uri@w3.org>. Previous versions have
couched "tdb" as a URN namespace, and included a "duri" scheme for
fixing date without indirection, which seems unnecessary. It was
originally written as a thought experiment as a way of resolving the
use/mention problem in semantic web applications, but may have other
uses.
