Network Naming
Network names create connections
Network names are essential for discovering and connecting resources but names are assigned arbitrarily.
We are making a more democratic and efficient Internet by coordinating internet names vocabularies to allow meaningful identities and create new and innovative paths to similar information across domains.
The good news is that the visionaries who created the domain name system gave it infinite descriptive capabilities.
At Addressable, we are building communities to coordinate network names that are meaningful - suitable for resource discovery and interoperability - at the speed and scale of the Internet.
Characteristics of people who care about naming
Why naming coordination is important
- URIs are here to stay despite technology choices and trends ahead.
- We need a forum where peers can collaborate to shape naming vocabularies that speed access to content within their organization, across communities, across government and across marketplaces to leverage technology investments.
- Lower the barrier to entry for new products and increase reusability of old. Transparent, logical naming of your enterprise information assets contain context that make them autonomously discoverable and consumable by new products. Speeding access to data across enterprise boundaries, geographic boundaries and technology boundaries.
