PURL |
| CREATOR: |
OCLC. |
| DESCRIPTION: |
"A PURL is a Persistent Uniform Resource Locator.
Functionally, a PURL is a URL. However, instead of pointing directly to the location of an
Internet resource, a PURL points to an intermediate resolution service. The PURL
resolution service associates the PURL with the actual URL and returns that URL to the
client. The client can then complete the URL transaction in the normal fashion. In Web
parlance, this is a standard HTTP redirect."--Title screen. OCLC provides free
download of the PURL software. |
