  1. Keywords: A Fresh Approach to A Multilingual Internet Dr. Yves Arrouye Chief Architect, RealNames Corp. yves@realnames.com

  2. A Look at Net Addresses • DNS is not for everybody • Mainly a thin layer about IP addresses • Restricted name syntax • IDN will only alleviates some problems • URLs are very unwieldy • http://www.mitsucars.com/car_home/carindex_check.mmsa?model=ecs01&flash=yes • IRLs will keep the URI syntax

  3. DNS Role and Use • DNS names network objects • A DNS “name” is an identifier • These identifiers are not what we think of when we say name • DNS is only a part of the picture • Documents on the Web also have a path in their address • Email also requires a mailbox name • DNS is abused • Using domain names as shortcuts

  4. How to Fix It? • Leave DNS alone • Works well for what it was designed to do • Build on top of DNS • New requirements, new effort • Correct today’s imbalances • Open the infrastructure • Resolution and registration

  5. Layered View of Naming (John Klensin) • Above DNS • A couple new layers • Sublayer 2 is a replacement for DNS that is friendlier to human names • Sublayer 3 offers directory services • BOF at 52th IETF

  6. Layered View of the RealNames Platform • Above DNS • Country-based namespaces

  7. Keywords • A fresh approach • No standard to conform to, no set limitations to obey • Used Unicode from the start • User-friendly rules • Write “über” or “ueber” • Country-based namespaces • Friendly to local trademarks and usages

  8. Sample Keywords • Nicht ist unmöglich • Večernji list • Libération • Barnes & Noble • Yahoo! • Motel  Note: Due to technical reasons, this printout does not have sample Keywords in non-Latin scripts. Please refer to the presentation on the Symposium’s Web site for further examples in other scripts.

  9. The Structure of Keywords • Multi-faceted objects • Use of Context • Implicit context is better • Only some facets needed for direct navigation • Multiple applications

  10. ソニー    Keyword Resolution How Does It Work? • The keyword is looked up and we redirect to its associated Web URI.

  11. Conclusion • DNS is best left alone • As a network naming layer • Even IDN is constrained by DNS • People need freedom of naming • Keywords are easy to grasp • Keywords work across applications • Keywords work across cultures
