RE: [Handle-info] how to resolve a handle prefix owner?

Oh there are many other things :-) But I am working for PANGAEA, where I started to use Lucene and implement numeric search. Handle system is just a secondary battlefield, because PANGAEA registers DOIs through DataCite.

Recently my "job" as "unicode and localization policeman" found some bugs in the handle server software, which makes it unuseable in the Turkish locale; I am trying to find a place where to file a bug report. If you hear Turkish locale, you may know about the issue in the handle server software, if not, read http://blog.thetaphi.de/2012/07/default-locales-default-charsets-and.html - With a new ANT/Maven plugin you can scan your own Java Bytecode for those problems involving default charsets, locales and timezones.

Ah so you needed no "generic way to detect this", so the simple hdl.handle.net website was enough. I think then you have all information needed with 0.NA/prefix.
