Re: [Handle-info] how is handle related to uri

[Sean Reilly <sreilly@cnri.reston.va.us>]

Hi Konstantin,

One thing that you might want to clarify in your diagram is the  
difference between identifier schemes and types of resolution  
systems.  Your diagram describes identifier schemes, but I think that  
handle identifiers could be considered URIs (or not, depending on how  
they are written).  Also, there are multiple ways that handles can be  
"encoded" in URIs:
  http://hdl.handle.net/*
  urn:hdl:*
  info:hdl/*
  hdl:* (arguably, since the hdl: scheme isn't formally registered yet)

So you could put handles within the URI box in your diagram.

On the other hand, "handle" also provides a resolution system that  
can be used for many identifiers within (or without) the URI world.   
In that sense you might have a "handle" box within the URI section  
and a "handle resolver" box somewhere else.  Although describing the  
method used to resolve each type of identifier should probably be the  
subject of a separate diagram.

Thanks,
Sean
