OCLC hosts "info" URI registry OCLC Research has developed, and is hosting, NISO's "info" URI registry, built on an enhanced OAI-PMH 2.0 repository. jyoung@oclc.org http://www.oclc.org/research/announcements/ http://www.oclc.org/research/announcements/oclc_research_news.rdf January 23, 2004 <P>Using the registry, a namespace authority can register specific types of URIs for the public namespace(s) it controls. The recently proposed "info" URI scheme enables the URI referencing of selected categories of legacy information-asset identifiers. NISO, the Maintenance Agency for the "info" Registry, has delegated responsibility to OCLC as the Registry Operator and prototype developer.</P> <P>Agencies interested in designating "info" URIs must submit proposals for approval.
