Handle System: Applications, Specifications & Implementation

The Handle System is a proprietary registry assigning persistent identifiers, or handles, to information resources, and for resolving "those handles into the information necessary to locate, access, and otherwise make use of the resources". As with handles used elsewhere in computing, Handle System identifiers, a.k.a. Handle IDs, are opaque, and encode…
