Once upon a time there was a notion of multiple URLs (different schemes) providing access to a given resource, because there are multiple ways to access the resource. There might even be an 'ftp' URL for a bibliographic record corresponding to an lccn, along with an http URL. Now are these locators or identifiers? I don't care. The info URI for that lccn would (a) not be a locator, and (b) be the cannonical identifier. (Whether its "info:lccn......" or "urn:info:lccn ......") --RayReceived on Wednesday, 15 October 2003 09:44:49 GMT
