Look at the resolver address in the PURL. For example, in the hypothetical PURL http://purl.foo.com/NET/jdoe, the resolver address is purl.foo.com. If the resolver address is any of the following, then the PURL is resolved by OCLC’s PURL service: • purl.oclc.org • purl.com • purl.net • purl.org Otherwise, look at the last two segments of the resolver address in the PURL. These should indicate the organizational entity running the resolver for that PURL. For example, the resolver address purl.foo.com indicates that the com(mercial) organizational entity foo runs the resolver for this PURL.
