D-Lib Magazine with Handles

Introduction

The Handle System has been developed by CNRI as part of the Computer Science Technical Reports project. A handle is a unique identifier for a digital object. This object can be stored in a digital library repository, in an ftp archive, in a World Wide Web server, or any other digital store. Handles can also be used for other forms of identification, such as electronic mail addresses.
