Re: [dxwg] Dereferenceable identifiers [RDID]

I've been involved with the International GeoSample Numbers (IGSN) which are Handles that resolve on HTTP via igsn.org. IGSNs were created as the effort to get DOIs for physical (geo) samples was too great a number of years ago. 

ISBNs could implement a Handle network including Handle nodes at various ISBN minting agencies (national libraries) around the world and then an HTTP resolver, perhaps isbn.org or similar (they USA is currently hogging that!).
