Abstract:
This document defines a set of ways to identify a thing (a digital
object in this case) using the output from a hash function,
specifying a new URI scheme for this, a way to map those to http
URLs, and binary and human "speakable" formats for these names. The
various formats are designed to support, but not require, a strong
link to the referenced object such that the referenced object may be
authenticated to the same degree as the reference to it. This work
is motivated as a way to standardise current uses of hash outputs in
URLs and to support new information-centric applications and other
uses of hash outputs in protocols.
