A new IETF non-working group email list has been created. List address: dsii@ietf.org Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dsii/ To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dsii Purpose: Purpose: This list will be focused on the persistent identification of data sets that are shared. One primary use case will be the inter-relation of scientific data sets produced by different research teams; other use cases might include media developed by different sources and combined into a common collection. The first topic of discussion is expected to be permanent identifiers for data sets: their format, how they are assigned and resolved. This will draw from existing methods such as DOI, URN, PURL. Access policies based on identifiers, discovery, association of meta-data, and data integrity are expected to be later topics. For additional information, please contact the list administrators.
