Description:

Rank: medium

Current Deliverables:
New draft of http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/namingSchemes.html

Issue Scope:
This issue covers a) URIs for namespace names b) URNs and other proposed systems for "location independent" names c) XML and other registries, and perhaps centralized vs. decentralized vocabulary tracking.

Community affected: 
* Those who need persistent URLs and don't know where to get them.
* Constituences who own and operate namespaces (e.g. Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group, OASIS XRI TC, LSID)

External contacts & dependencies:
* We expect (3 March 2009) XRI TC to produce another draft of the XRI specification
