- Description of Working Group:
- The Uniform Resource Identifiers Archives Working Group is chartered to
- define a set of standards for the encoding of system independent
- Resource Location and Identification information for the use of
- Internet information services.
-
- This Working Group is expected to produce a set of documents that will
- specify standardized representations of Uniform Resource Locators
- (URLs) which specify a standardized method for encoding location and
- access information across multiple information systems. Such standards
- are expected to build upon the document discussed at the UDI BOF
- session held during the 24th IETF meeting in Boston, Unique Resource
- Serial Numbers (URSNs) which specify a standardized method for encoding
- unique resource identification information for Internet resources and
- Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), which specify a standardized
- method for encoding combined resource identification and location
- information systems to be used for resource discovery and access
- systems in an Internet environment.
-
- Such a set of standards will provide a framework that: allows the
- Internet user to specify the location and access information for files
- and other resources on the Internet, allows users and network-based
- tools to uniquely identify specific resources on the Internet, and
- allows the creation and operation of resource discovery and access
- systems for the Internet. The security of such resource discovery
- services will also be considered to be an integral part of the work
- of this Group.
-
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Done Review and approve the Charter making any changes deemed necessary.
- Examine the scope of the recommended documents. Review the first
- draft of a proposal for Uniform Resource Locators already available.
-
- Mar 93 Submit URL document as an Internet-Draft. Review additional draft
- documents and determine necessary revisions. Follow up discussion
- will occur on mailing list.
-
- Nov 93 Submit the URL document to the IESG for publication as a Proposed
- Standard RFC.
