FW: New Version Notification for draft-masinter-dated-uri-06

After a long hiatus on "tdb", I updated the document
based on some feedback.

Changed from URN scheme to URI, got rid of "duri"
and just left "tdb".

A new version of I-D, draft-masinter-dated-uri-06.txt has been successfuly submitted by Larry Masinter and posted to the IETF repository.

Filename:  draft-masinter-dated-uri
Revision:  06
Title:   The "tdb" URI scheme: denoting described resources
Creation_date:  2009-07-12
WG ID:   Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 13

Abstract:
This document defines a URI scheme, "tdb" ( standing for "Thing
Described By").  It provides a semantic hook for allowing anyone at
any time to mint a URI for anything that they can describe.  Such
URIs may include a timestamp to fix the description at a given date
or time.

This URI scheme may reduce the need to define define new URN
namespaces merely for the purpose of creating stable identifiers.  In
addition, they provide a ready means for identifying "non-information
resources" by semantic indirection -- a way of creating a URI for
anything.

Note

This document is not a product of any working group.  Many of the
ideas here have been discussed since 2001.  This document has been
discussed on the mailing list <uri@w3.org>.  Previous versions have
couched "tdb" as a URN namespace, and included a "duri" scheme for
fixing date without indirection, which seems unnecessary.  It was
originally written as a thought experiment as a way of resolving the
use/mention problem in semantic web applications, but may have other
uses.
