>Subject: W3C URI Persistence Policy
>
>The Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group
>is drafting several Working Group Notes on the topics of managing
>vocabularies in and porting thesaurii to the Semantic Web.
>
>One of the items the WG would like to cover is policy statements for
>best practices on naming and persistence of URIs.  During a recent
>discussion [1] it was observed that while it is common belief that
>W3C has a published persistence policy for URIs in the w3.org
>namespace, the document [2]Persistence Policy that we believe
>describes the W3C policy does not claim any formal endorsement.
>In fact, [2] is signed "1999/@@@draft".

>The purpose of this message is to inform the Communications Team
>that the SWBPD Working Group intends to cite [2] as the W3C URI
>Persistence Policy.

>If the Comm Team believes there is a better document to cite, we
>would welcome such advice.
