Abstract:
While the URI specification has been widely deployed, it has long
been recognized that many valid URIs, especially those that contain
extensive information in the "tail" are unsuitable for user
presentation, especially for internationalized environments. IRIs
have been proposed as a solution for that problem but inherit (and
are constrained by) the complex and sometimes method-dependent syntax
model of URIs as well as positional and ordering assumptions that
make them more difficult to localize than is desirable.
This specification illustrates a way to define an "above URI" model
for a localization-friendly simple reference identifier (SRI) that
explicitly identifies fields and is more appropriate than IRIs to
support localization. The current version is intended simply to
initiate a discussion. In particular, while it is written to use an
XML element syntax model, variations using JSON or some other system
with explicitly-labeled data fields might be as, or more,
appropriate.
