Title : URN Semantics Clarification
Author : John C Klensin
Filename : draft-ietf-urnbis-semantics-clarif-00.txt
Pages : 18

Abstract:
Experience has shown that identifiers associated with persistent
names have properties and requirements that may be somewhat different
from identifiers associated with the locations of objects. This is
especially true when such names are expected to be stable for a very
long time or when they identify large and complex entities. In order
to allow Uniform Resource Names (URNs) to evolve to meet the needs of
the Library, Museum, Publisher, and Informational Sciences
communities and other users, this specification separates URNs from
the semantic constraints that many people believe are part of the
specification for Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) specified in
RFC 3986, updating that document accordingly. The syntax of URNs is
still constrained to that of RFC 3986, so generic URI parsers are
unaffected by this change.
