We have used purl.org by creating domain name of our own (purl.obolibrary.org) and having it be a CNAME for purl.org. In order to do this you need to communicate with the purl.org folks and check if they don't mind configuring their apache setup to recognize the virtual hot. Do you have any reason to believe that purl.org won't scale? You might discuss it with them to see what they thing. The new version of purl was supposed to be designed to support federation of purl servers. We're looking into this (we=sharedname.org) but haven't had time to test the new server yet. -Alan > > thanks, > rahul > > On Wed, Sep 22, 2010 at 10:01 AM, David Booth <david@dbooth.org> wrote: >> >> On Wed, 2010-09-22 at 09:31 +0530, Rahul Patil wrote: >> > Now the question is: how to keep a URI dereferenceable while it moves >> > from one physical endpoint to other through the standardization >> > process? >> > [ . . . ] >> > I can think of some ways like maintaining a separate server to >> > redirect abstract URIs or using something like PURL >> > (http://purl.org/docs/index.html) but want to check with this group >> > before committing to a solution. >> > >> PURLs are the best solution that I know.
