Dr. Paskin, As noted here http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jul/0093.html I find the "fact sheet" on the doi.org web site at http://www.doi.org/factsheets/DOIIdentifierSpecs.html currently somewhat misleading. I realize that there was confusion about URIs, URNs and URLs back around 2000 or 2002 when some of the earlier discussions took place, but this confusion has since been worked out. The current URI specification, RFC 3986 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt in section 1.1.3 clearly explains the relationship. It would be good to get the DOI "fact sheet" updated to properly reflect this. Thanks -- David Booth, Ph.D. Cleveland Clinic (contractor) Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Cleveland Clinic.
