Abstract:The author presents several architectural principles for the deployment of networked information. These principles are: (1)Provide globally unique, persistent identifers for each information object; (2) View information objects as true digitial objects and make them self-describing; (3)Use wrappers such as XML to logically represent information resources; (4) Descriptive, technical and rights management information should be referenced in the metadata package; (5) Use wrappers to declare the availability of multiple content options; and (6) Use wrappers to allow for the repository, authentication and authorization services to be independently referenced. These prinicipals will make the discovery, retrieval and use of digital objects easier and also consistent with intellectual property rights (IPR).
