Well yeah. I guess the victim's families would pretty much love that. Today. Creating simple URI schemes that can be transmitted via word-of-mouth is crucial at moments like these. I am working with a large team now and asking them to craft URIs for their data would go a long way if those URIs were globally meaningful. As you say, they could become some sort of discovery hub... or messaging platform. I found this guy, and just by looking at his passport I can craft a URI. Then I can access all his personal details and viceversa, others will know that I found him. This NIN scheme should be taken seriously... > Deborah MacPherson > On Sun, Mar 7, 2010 at 4:03 PM, Aldo Bucchi <aldo.bucchi@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> All countries have a National Identification Number scheme ( NIN ). >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_identification_number >> >> Also, all countries have code points in different schemes. >> >> So, can't we combine both to create a de-facto URI for people based on >> country ids? >> >> For example: http://dbpedia.org/nin/cl/14168212 >> That would be me based on my Chilean NIN. >> >> Is there some namespace for this already? >> >> When you have real world problems, like we have now in Chile, it is >> simple solutions like these that would make integration easier. >> >> For example, we have assigned a NS for chilean IDs.
