Fwd: Permanent Identifiers for the Web | The Beautiful, Tormented Machine

"Permanent identifiers on the Web are an important thing to support, but until today there was no organization that would back a service for the Web to keep these sorts of permanent identifiers operating over the course of multiple decades. A number of us saw that this is a real problem and so we launched w3id.org, which is a permanent identifier service for the Web. The purpose of w3id.org is to provide a secure, permanent URL re-direction service for Web applications. This service will be run and operated by the W3C Permanent Identifier Community Group."
