10 Rules for Persistent URIs
29/01/2013
The report "Study on persistent URIs, with identification of best practices and recommendations on the topic for the MSs and the EC" documents a survey performed by ISA Action 1.1 on Semantic Interoperability in order to explore good practices on the publication of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI), both in terms of format and of their design rules and management.
The survey studied approximately 20 cases, coming among others from EU agencies and services, EU Member States and standardization bodies and initiatives, where URI management and persistence have been subject to a policy (as opposed to merely ad-hoc design). The survey concludes with a distillation of the available information as a set of good practices that can and should be followed by publishers of URI sets.
