It’s hard to imagine URNs without a DNS based namespace to back up the universality part of it.
urn:catalogue.isbn.org:1234
You could use a URL for information about the book as the URN for the book itself? Or is that “bad” because in 25 years we might not use either https or DNS?
https://isbn.org/catalogue/1234
If the URN is a kind of type prefix for an otherwise meaningless number, are we supposed to use these inline / Hungarian notation types everywhere the number is used?:

- immibis 2y agoThis is how XML namespaces work. They're URLs, but they identify resources rather than locating them. Often, conventionally, some information about the identified thing also happens to exist at the URL.
