=== Addressing Schemes for Archives === | === Addressing Schemes for Archives === | ||
* Need a shared addressing scheme that works across archives, archive browsers | Addressability is a first technical barrier: | ||
* Being able to construct links between multiple representations of the same documents | |||
** Across mirrors (same content, same addressing scheme, different location) | |||
** Across types of archive browsers (some may have further annotations, all may have different addressing schemes, all will have different locations) | |||
* Being able to identify existing references/annotations by detecting such links | |||
** E.g. via Twitter/Google search | |||
Need a shared addressing scheme that works across archives, archive browsers | |||
* Based on permalinks? | |||
* Definite goal: to place links. Ability to send reader to the source material | |||
* Optional goal: simple API. Ability to load source material by forming an address. (This places more requirements on the nature of the archive of the respective source material.) | |||
Alternatively: need a method of translating between different addressing schemes | |||
* Start with a review of link structures of a wide spectrum of archives | |||
Should publish best practises for a good addressing scheme | |||
* Document the structure of individual addressing schemes | |||
* Publish recommendations for addressing schemes, terminology used: common conventions | |||
