The URN WG's Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) describes a generalized architecture for 'top down' resolution of identifiers such as URIs. This works well when a (software) client wants or needs to dynamically determine the explicit authoritative delegation of resolution. However, there are times when it is desirable to incorporate other elements of contextual control information in determining, for example, the "appropriate copy" of a resource -- preferrentially finding a "local" copy of a journal rather than re)purchasing one from the authoritative publisher. This is generally applicable to all URI resolution, but it is more specific than "web caching". Software systems being built to solve this in today's deployed systems are using specialized, non-interoperable, non- scalable approaches. Some current experimentation and a straw proposal are described below. This BoF is chartered to determine if there is interest/wherewithal to determine a standard vehicle to process contextualized resolution that a) is not application- or protocol-specific and b) ties in with global resolution systems (such as DDDS) in order to preserve authoritative resolution chains, where applicable Beyond the "appropriate copy" scenario, this should equally be applicable in non-document contexts -- e.g., IP-telephony (enterprise dialing schemes taking precedence over, but linked to, global numbering). While the focus of this BoF is on standardized resolution steps/mechanisms, not "metadata" or "knowledge transactions", discussion must reflect that "context" generalizes beyond location/area (e.g., to "who's paying for this", etc).
