Theme: "Uniform Resource Identifiers and the Library Community"

Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), the mechanism used to describe where information is located on the Internet, has been essential to the development of the World Wide Web. However, URLs "break" as information is moved or deleted, networks are busy,sites go out of service or are revised, or computers change addresses. As the Web grows, the problem of Error 404 "Document Not Found" responses increases. Thus, there is a need for a system of persistent uniform resource identifiers that provide logical points to network resources and which are resistant to change. Ensuring persistence will require a distributed and complex set of technical and administrative commitments to be successful. This workshop will provide an update on the various identifier initiatives, their interrelationships, and the emerging role of the library community in providing Uniform Resource Identifer (URI) services.

Speakers will cover:

1. Overview of identifier technologies and issues for libraries
2. IEFT URN development
