Hi! Here is something that makes me wonder: CEUR-WS at http://ceur-ws.org is a service for scientific workshops to publish their proceedings. The complete workshop proceedings are freely available at HTTP-URIs such as http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-560 I consider this a good and stable URI scheme. Now I find the following statement on the service's main page: 27-Jan-2010: We have started to assign persistent identifiers (URN) to published volumes. You can resolve them either by installing URN Support as a plug-in to your browser or use a web-based resolver, e.g. http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0074-560-7 for Vol-560. Does anyone have an idea what is the advantage of having this additional URN scheme compared to the HTTP-URI scheme used so far (which is still valid, of course). Do I miss something obvious?
