We've blogged about the upcoming change in the recommended form of newly published ARKs (starting on STARTDATE) – from ark:/12345 (oldform) to ark:12345 (newform)
what is STARTDATE? how do we determine what STARTDATE is?
when do we change documentation on the website and wikipedia?
recall that all sites producing newform ARKs must also serve all their ARKs in newform or oldform, regardless of production date, eg, 2025
at CUTOVERDATE, all sites should serve all their ARKs in either newform or oldform, regardless of production date, eg, 2006
