How to use in browser
[edit]Please expand the section on how to use in a browser. The article shows a sample structure:
[http://NMAH/]ark:/NAAN/Name[Qualifier]
but could benefit from "live" examples which are accessible.
Also, please explain this statement: While ARKs have application in identifier persistence, the ARK scheme sees persistence as purely a matter of service and not a property of a naming syntax. — Senator2029 ║ talk 01:38, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Not entirely sure that anatomy of an ARK is correct
[edit]Currently the first paragraph of the entry contains the following:
- An ARK contains the label ark: after the URL's hostname,...
But I believe this in fact should read "after the URL's pathname". It just so happens that all of the example ARK URLs that I find have an empty path, like http://myrepo.example.org/ark:/12345/bcd987 . So the offending text doesn't look like an error but I'm pretty sure that it is.
I don't want to change it because I had not heard of ARKs before about 15 minutes ago and am a little unsure that I'm correct.
--Nc4096 (talk) 04:35, 25 August 2015 (UTC):
- That whole paragraph is kind of incomprehensible; someone familiar with the spec would need to explain what was meant. As is, it's clearly wrong (taken literally, it means
https://en.wikipedia.orgark:/??). 73.223.72.200 (talk) 00:58, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
Behaviour of resolvers for URLs ending in ?, ??, ?info
[edit]The end of section 1.2 of https://arks.org/assets/documents/2024/ark_spec_39.pdf states:
ARK resolvers must support the "?info" inflection for requesting metadata. Older versions of this specification distinguished between two minimal inflections: '?' (brief metadata) and '??' (more metadata). While these older inflections are still reserved, because they have proven hard to recognize in some environments, supporting them is optional. 2A04:9546:192B:1501:50E2:AA0B:9B3D:9DCA (talk) 17:50, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
