Re: [dxwg] Dereferenceable identifiers [RDID]

On this topic, one of my priorities at GS1 now is to make barcodes dereferenceable. In more formal terms, we're defining how GTINs (the numbers you see beneath a barcode) and our other less well-known identifiers, can be encoded in HTTP URIs. I mention it here because there is a close relationship between our GTINs and ISBN and ISSN (ISBNs all begin 978 or 979 but are part of the EAN/UPC/GTIN world). Therefore, if this WG has use cases for dereferenceable ISBNs, I'd be pleased to know, especially if you have any idea where they should dereference to!
