Using Existing Bibliographic Identifiers as Uniform Resource Names - (IETF RFC 2288) discusses how three major bibliographic identifiers (the ISBN, ISSN and SICI) can be supported within the URN framework and the currently proposed syntax for URNs, Clifford Lynch, Cecilia Preston and Ron Daniel Jr., February 1998
Using International Standard Book Numbers as Uniform Resource Names (IETF RFC 3187) discusses how International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN) can be supported within the URN (Uniform Resource Names) framework and the syntax for URNs defined in RFC 2141, much of the discussion is based on the ideas expressed in RFC 2288, October 2001
Using National Bibliography Numbers as Uniform Resource Names (IETF RFC 3188) discusses how national bibliography numbers (persistent and unique identifiers assigned by the national libraries) can be supported within the URN (Uniform Resource Names) framework and the syntax for URNs defined in RFC 2141, much of the discussion is based on the ideas expressed in RFC 2288, October 2001
