Where did you find it, Henry? hmm... perhaps from http://www.cdlib.org/inside/diglib/ark/ For reference, here's the title page info: Towards Electronic Persistence Using ARK Identifiers John A. Kunze California Digital Library University of California, Office of the President, Oakland, CA 94612, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kunze himself cites it as: Towards Electronic Persistence Using ARK Identifiers, J.
