Abstract:The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) as the sole system for locating information on the Web is analogous to naming a book by the shelf location. OCLC's experience shows that about 50% of the URL's created are deleted or renamed with the first six week after creation. The issues raised by this lack of persistence are discussed. The PURL (Persistent Uniform Resource Locator) is described as a persistent identifier based on a managed URL. A PURL-based system is describe along with other alternatives under consideration.
