[OAI-implementers] OAI identifier resolver

[Patrick CH Hochstenbach]

An easy way to assign unique identifiers without using a central registration
would be UUID's. See also:

ftp://ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mealling-uuid-urn-01.txt

The uuid is in the processes of becomming an urn scheme. With it's
128 bit key as one of the features it is pretty strong preventing
collisions (see my previous post).
