blog-dshr-org-9954		DSHR's Blog: What Is The Point?			.html	text/html	1218	304	85	During a discussion of NFTs, Larry Masinter pointed me to his 2012 proposal The 'tdb' and 'duri' URI schemes, based on dated URIs. The proposal's abstract reads: As far as I can tell, this proposal went nowhere, but it raises a question that is also raised by NFTs. What is the point of a link that is unlikely to continue to resolve to the expected content? 'tdb' URIs. However, a 'duri' URI might be "resolvable" in the sense But the duri: URI doesn't provide the information needed to resolve to the "cached or archived" content. The competition for duri: was not merely long established, but also actually did what users presumably wanted, which was to resolve to the content of the specified URL at the specified time. The history of duri: suggests that there isn't a lot of point in "durable" URIs lacking an expectation that they will continue to resolve to the original content.	./cache/blog-dshr-org-9954.html	./txt/blog-dshr-org-9954.txt
