exploring possibility of N2T replica, initially with Smithsonian N2T tech overview N2T provides primary storage for all EZID identifiers, minters for generating unique identifier strings, and resolution for all non-DOI identifiers, including identifiers not maintained by EZID (eg, Internet Archive ARKs). All functions are served from an Apache web server homed at n2t.net. The N2T web server uses the open-source Eggnog package (formerly Noid) to mint, bind, and resolve identifiers. Egg is for binding (storing) and resolving, and nog (nice opaque generator) is used for minting. Eggnog uses the open-source BerkeleyDB software as a fast, scalable database. Resolution is provided by Apache server rewrite rules hooked up to egg. Also on N2T are administrative scripts for creating and managing identifier prefixes (shoulders), backing up the database, updating external replicas, and documents to support these functions. All code is open source and available on github. |
