So you could give a n2.net URL as the canonical URL (like doi.org as canonical for a DOI) but have everything actually hosted on github pages or whatever,<br></div><div><br></div><div>On Wed, Oct 13,

though it will be open source and self-hostable, and based on ARKs (<a href="https://arks.org/">https://arks.org/</a>), which I think are a nice way to *generate* persistent URLs decoupled from actually *resolving* them (though one needs to find such a so-called ARK "name mapping authority" to provide that service if one cannot self-host, and I'm not aware of any NMAs other than n2t.net , which I don't think you can just use unless you are a collaborator in some sense).<br></div><div><br></div><div>w3id.org of course also requires you to resolve stuff, but the above examples host on
