This
document addresses the issues of the discovery of URN (Uniform Resource Name)
resolver services that in turn will directly translate URNs into URLs (Uniform
Resource Locators) and URCs (Uniform Resource Characteristics). The document
falls into three major parts, the assumptions underlying the work, the
guidelines in order to be a viable Resolver Discovery Service or RDS, and a
framework for designing RDSs. The guidelines fall into three principle areas:
evolvability, usability, and security and privacy. An RDS that is compliant
with the framework will not necessarily be compliant with the guidelines.
Compliance with the guidelines will need to be validated separately.
