<< The motivation behind developing the INFO URI scheme was to allow legacy identification systems to become part of the World Wide Web global information architecture so that the information assets they identify can be referenced by Web-based description technologies such as XLink, RDF or Topic Maps. Note that we are concerned with "information assets", not "digital assets" per se - the information assets may be variously digital, physical or conceptual.
