This workshop presentation discusses persistent identifiers, specifically focusing on Uniform Resource Names (URNs) and their management by Die Deutsche Bibliothek. Highlighted are the activities and outcomes of the EPICUR project (2002-2005) and its predecessor CARMEN-AP4 (1999-2002). The presentation details the development of prototypes for managing online dissertations, URN assignment, URL administration, and the infrastructure supporting URN resolution. It emphasizes the importance of URNs for long-term preservation and access to digital objects while outlining the technical and organizational frameworks established for effective URN management.

URN-Strategy of Die Deutsche Bibliothek (EPICUR) • To what can a URN (nbn:de) be assigned and managed? • objects currently archived by Die Deutsche Bibliothek • objects to be archived in Die Deutsche Bibliothek in the future • Objects which will be administered on certified document servers • Quality criteria e.g. URL-Updating • Endeavors by DINI • http://www.dini.de/dini/zertifikat/dini_certificate.pdf • perspective of long term preservation • (BMBF project: http://www.langzeitarchivierung.de) no content-based selection!
URN-Assignment – State of the Art • Online dissertations urn:nbn:de:gbv:089-3321752945 • Publisher publications urn:nbn:de:0002-0104 • Reports urn:nbn:de:0001-00021, • urn:nbn:de:kobv:b103-000011 • Conference proceedings urn:nbn:de:bsz:93-opus-15563 • Journals urn:nbn:de:1111-2004020921 • Articles urn:nbn:de:bsz:93-opus-13482 • Videos urn:nbn:de:0001-00099, urn:nbn:ch:bel-2319 • Annual reports urn:nbn:de:kobv:b103-030012 • Monographs urn:nbn:de:bsz:93-opus-13983 • Digitized materials urn:nbn:de:kobv:b103-030026 • Lectures urn:nbn:de:1111-2004033057 • XML namespace urn:nbn:de:1111-2004033116
URN-Objects Object Part objects
URN-Strategy of Die Deutsche Bibliothek (EPICUR) • Principles • URNs are valid after their registration at Die Deutsche Bibliothek • URN-Registration within 24 hours of their publication on a document server • URL-Updating is mandatory • In case of a distributed object storage URN must be transferred as part of the metadata or as access mechanism • [...] • Recommendations • URNs should be assigned as closely as possible to the object • URNs should be a component of metadata. • A character set according to RFC 1738 for URLs should be used.
URN-Registration • Requirement • URN-Registration within 24 hours non their publication on a document server • Realization • What? • - URN • - URL(s), MimeTypes • How? - Existing workflows - Several transfer interfaces Separation of bibliographic metadata and information concerning the URN management
URN-Registration using existing Workflows – Metadata for Online-Dissertations „MetaDiss“
URN-Management: Additional Transfer Interfaces • Manual URN administration - Web-Interface <http://nbn-resolving.org/login.php> • Automated URN administration - E-Mail-Attachment • - OAI 2.0 • http://www.persistent-identifier.de/?link=200
