Test ARK proposal #1 (May 11 brought to NAAN WG) N2T-based test ARKs for non-EZID users This is a much narrower version of the proposal brought in last month, which was to expand the role of NAAN registry to record shoulders under the four non-institutional NAANs. We need agreement on how INCIPIT might proceed with N2T-based test ARKs that do not conflict with EZID test ARKs. A major benefit of the proposal would be to protect exclusive "test" shoulder access rights of both EZID and INCIPIT. Proposed: With its oversight role for the NAAN namespace, this group agrees to reserve, under the 99999 NAAN,
Some discussion:

The current proposal has no impact on the NAAN registry. The test shoulders reserved in this way would be recorded for now in a separate file. | John | ||
Test ARK proposal #2 (this might co-exist with or go forward instead of proposal #1) In the May 11 NAAN WG discussion, Bertrand reminded us of Roxanna's idea (2020.04.20) of a convention that automatically and implicitly reserves a test shoulder under 99999 whenever a new NAAN, eg 12345, is created. Summary proposal: If ark:/12345/foo is registered to redirect to X/foo, then ark:/99999/912345_bar will redirect to X/912345_bar. In general, ark:/99999/9<NAAN>_... will redirect to X/9<NAAN>_.... Why surround the NAAN with a 9 on the left and '_' on the right? Because (a) the 9 preserves the first digit convention for the shoulder (with a digit that is fixed) and (b) the '_' marks the end of the NAAN in case NAANs are assigned that have more than 5 characters. Question: consideration will this interfere with check digit calculation, if any? | |||
