2004-12-01Identifying the Objective, not its LocationACM News Service: Getting a Handle on Data. 2004-11-18: This blurb on a Julian Perkin 2004-11-17 Financial Times - IT Review article (paid subscription required) speaks about the problem of locating content on the Internet that is likely to move, be renamed, or cached in different ways. The Handle System and DOIs (originally: distinguished object identifiers) are identified (I couldn't help myself) as possible solutions. I'd like a solution to that, especially when it might be possible to find the nearest copy, on a local machine say, or go to a suggested global place, or conduct a search, etc. This fits a problem I have around supporting certain kinds of collaboration. I see it as more static than P2P, but a solution might have a P2P quality too it. The concern I have for "doi:" as a protocol is that it requires an intermediary and it is not clear who gets to play or federate into the system. Along with "who owns your data" we now have "who owns your link?" I'll keep watching.
