Consolidation of recent concept exploration around X?info
Revisit basic requirements
return basic information about X
return a persistence statement
don't depart too far from original ARK spec
retain ability to add optional richer metadata
retain ability to use other formats
retain spirit of ERC/ANVL/THUMP and Dublin Kernel "story" metadata
Concept that X can refer to a landing page, and what that means for X?info
Concept that X can refer to a plunging (non-landing) page, and what that means
Concept that resolution may in general involve multiple resolvers, any of which might be tasked to respond to X?info (tradeoffs)
Unknown: can/should we support notion of X referring to one or more of these (avoiding the more challenging terminology of the Networked Entity Model):
bp (born physical) thing
bd (born digital) thing
bc (born conceptual, eg, vocabulary term) thing
dfp (digital from physical, eg, scanned document)
dfd (digital from digital, eg, lower res surrogate from master image)
pfp (physical from physical, eg, photographic print of painting)
pfd (physical from digital, eg, German wikipedia is printed and bound annually)
