Abstract
This document describes the Handle Naming Authorities used within
CORDRA and within the CORDRA system instance.
Contents
Introduction
CORDRA uses the
H
Handle System for identifiers. This document describes the
Handle Naming Authorities (handle prefixes) used within the CORDRA
system, the CORDRA system instance and the CORDRA documents.
A separate document describes
H
CORDRA Identifiers used to represent handles within the CORDRA
System instance.

Scope
The defined Handle Naming Authorities SHALL apply to all handles used
within the CORDRA Web Sites, CORDRA documents, the CORDRA document
repository, the CORDRA system, the CORDRA System instance or
implementation of the CORDRA system, or a definition, documentation
for, instance or implementation of Federated CORDRA.
Individual content objects within a CORDRA instance, content
repositories within a CORDRA instance and identifiers in a CORDRA
instance SHALL NOT use any of the defined CORDRA Handle Naming
Authorities.

CORDRA Naming Authorities
Naming authorities used in CORDRA are defined below.
-
2000
-
Handle Naming Authority: 2000
-
Handle LHS Home: 128.xxx.yyy.zzz
-
Handle Admin: ????
-
Handle NA Scope: CORDRA web documents and web pages. General
documents on the web, not the formal definition of CORDRA.
-
Identifier Requirements: Handles and Identifiers are CORDRA
Identifiers.
-
Notes: The root of the CORDRA web is
H
[hdl:2000/1].
This identifier is the exception to the identifier requirement listed
above.
-
2000.01
-
Handle Naming Authority: 2000.01
-
Handle LHS Home: 128.xxx.yyy.zzz
-
Handle Admin: ????
-
Handle NA Scope: Formal CORDRA Application Profile Documents.
-
Identifier Requirements: Handles and Identifiers are CORDRA
Identifiers.
-
Notes: The CORDRA document repository is
H
[hdl:2000.01/1].
Current limitations of the CORDRA document repository limit the local
name of the identifier to 16 characters.
-
2000.02
-
Handle Naming Authority: 2000.02
-
Handle LHS Home: 128.xxx.yyy.zzz
-
Handle Admin: ????
-
Handle NA Scope: CORDRA Systems Objects
-
Identifier Requirements: Handles and Identifiers are CORDRA
Identifiers.
-
Notes: The root of the CORDRA System Object collection is
H
[hdl:2000.02/1].
This identifier is the exception to the identifier requirement listed above.
-
2000.03
-
Handle Naming Authority: 2000.03
-
Handle LHS Home: GHS (Global)
-
Handle Admin: 0.NA/0.NA
-
Handle NA Scope: CORDRA Registry Global Objects, i.e., items used by individual CORDRA implementations that are of a global nature, but not specific to the CORDRA System.
-
Identifier Requirements: Handles and Identifiers are CORDRA
Identifiers.
-
Notes: 16 octet local names are permitted for XML Namespaces.
-
2000.04
-
Handle Naming Authority: 2000.04++
-
Handle LHS Home: not homed
-
Handle Admin: ????
-
Handle NA Scope: not defined
-
Identifier Requirements: Handles and Identifiers are CORDRA
Identifiers.
-
Notes: All other naming authorities that begin with
2000. (i.e., the digit string "2000" followed by the ASCII character
"." [period]) are not currently used and are reserved for additional
CORDRA Naming Authorities.
