If you are mapping to a series of bits, then a checksum of some sort seems like a fine identifier to a specific file. But something like "song", minting ARKs[0

If you are mapping to a series of bits, then a checksum of some sort seems like a fine identifier to a specific file. But something like "song", minting ARKs[0] for FRBR[1]-esq Work/Expression/Manifestation records would be my first instinct, not a natural key. The Manifestation record could have the checksums of the files.

FRBR makes a lot of sense. There's some really good insights from library sciences that folks in computer science aught to spend some time studying. [edit] removed a statement about an ARK URL not loading, it loads fine now. Temp issue on my end?

  I agree with the substance of your comment re; FRBR, but ... typo maybe? [1] [1] https://grammarist.com/homophones/ought-vs-aught/ https://grammarist.com/homophones/ought-vs-aught/
