I'm about ready to send out the next iteration of the URN Resolutions
Services draft. One thread that circulated quite a bit the last time was
whether or not the UR{N,L}2* operations should collapse into simply
I2* operations. I.e. the argument to the initial set of operations was
any URI and that it was up to the resolver to look at the type of URI to
determine what it was.
The current list of operations is:
N2L (URN to URL)
N2Ls (URN to URLs)
N2R (URN to Resource)
N2Rs (URN to Resources)
N2C (URN to URC)
N2Ns (URN to URNs)
L2Ns (URL to URNs)
L2Ls (URL to URLs)
L2C (URL to URC):
I2I (URI to URI):
N2I (URN to URI):
I=I (Is URI equal to URI):
The change would end up with this list:
I2L
I2Ls
I2R
I2Rs
I2C
I2Cs
I2N
I2Ns
I2I
I2Is
I'm removing I=I because I just don't want to get into other operations
right now....
The issue is basically do we want to explicitly say what a given service
will expect as its input?
As soon as I get some idea of the concensys surrounding this topic I'll
send out the draft....
