Hi Henry (& All), Henry describing ARK: >> It offers an approach in which e.g. >> >> http://loc.gov/ark:/12025/654xz321 >> http://rutgers.edu/ark:/12025/654xz321 >> >> identify the _same_ object. . . I see (at http://www.cdlib.org/inside/diglib/ark/) that appending a "?" to the end of the ARKs is an indicator that a metadata record should be returned to the browser. Is it the intent of ARK that both loc.gov and rutgers.edu would provide the the same response for the same object? Or, might each provide their own perspective of the object, perhaps returning different metadata and/or conflicting metadata? E.g., if the ARK represents a book, might loc.gov describe the book as "boring" and rutgers.edu describe it as "exciting"? Or is the intent that they would provide the same metadata?
