It's a fairly straightforward process, See: http://info-uri.info/registry/register.html You should look at a few examples first, go to http://info-uri.info/registry/ and click on a few of those listed in the left column. I think registering one for SuDocs would be fairly easy. The info folks are most concerned that the syntax rules are well-described. I had registered a few of these before they started cracking the whip on that (and rightly so), and when I registered info:lc it became more difficult; you might want to look at that for an example: http://info-uri.info/registry/OAIHandler?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=reg&identifier=info:lc/ Also, normalization - I suggested looking at info:lccn normalization rules: http://info-uri.info/registry/OAIHandler?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=reg&identifier=info:lccn/ --Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Rochkind" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 3:12 PM Subject: [CODE4LIB] registering info: uris? > Does anyone know the process for registering a sub-scheme for info: uris? > > I'd like to have one for SuDoc classification numbers, info:sudoc/. > > I'm not sure if I can register that on my own, without working with the US > Government Printing Office, who actually maintains sudocs.
