Final discussion of WG homepage review - KH: counting ARKs via API vs survey (pros/cons)
|
|
|
IETF standardization update - ARK as URN namespace (in addition to other IETF); might be easy
- ARK as API rather than as identifier?
- ARK as centralized silo rather than as distributed (see GJ's April 10 email about n2t)
- Current ARK draft expires April 20

ARK transition - blog post https://arks.org/blog/upcoming-changes-to-the-ark-specification/
- Changes (complete?):
- NAAN should be preceded by "ark:", as in ark:12345/x7th8, but the the V.I format should also be accepted as valid in perpetuity, ie, no links will break because of the transition
- NAAN can be 1 or more betanumerics (no length limit mentioned)
- ARK chars: = ~ * + @ _ $ % - . /
this removes #, adds ~ - inflections: add ?info (with ? and ?? reserved for future use, but undefined; ok to keep using them as you do for now)
- For received ARKs, implementations must support a minimum length of 255 octets for the string composed of the Base Name plus Qualifier
