Resource Identifiers

Specifications

IVOA Proposed Recommendation: "IVOA Identifiers" v1.1
RayPlante, Editor

Development of this standard is tracked via the RWP03Specs page.

Discussion

Do we need this standard?

Any resource requires a standard subset of metadata to specify its identity, presumably an xml document fragment, eg:


<resourceIdentifier>
   <name>...</name>
   <resourceType>...</resourceType>
   <location>
      <url>...</url>
      ...
   </location>
</resourceIdentifier>

Should the identifier for a resource simply be a URI with the other stuff above being part of the ResourceMetadata? -- TonyLinde - 27 Jan 2003

IVOA Identifiers Working Draft

An identifier specification is currently moving through the IVOA Standardization process. See /twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHomeDocuments for details.
