What consultations preceded the development of INFO?
<< Development of the INFO URI scheme is being conducted under the auspices of NISO, together with consultation from the IETF and the W3C. A consultation document "Bootstrapping the Web" was prepared to analyse the options available. On June 19th 2003, representatives from NISO, NISO Committee AX on OpenURL Framework standardization, the IETF, and the W3C met to discuss the requirements with respect to the identification of resources in the OpenURL Framework. More specifically, this group discussed how to handle the ORI and XRI Naming Environments introduced in the OpenURL Framework Draft Standard for Trial Use as an integral part of the Internet's URI environment. There was a general consensus to proceed with registration of a toplevel URI scheme and follow on meetings with representatives from the various communities were scheduled.
