Friends,
We talk mostly about Handles, but our Kernel should work for ARKs just as well. As such this is an interesting article about the growth of ARKs in the French library community and concomitant governance issues that may inform some of our discussion.

Hi Mark,
The article does contain some interesting lessons about the long-term operation of PID systems. However, I think that the paper by Caron et al. is overstating their case of ARK being a success. At the moment only 21 repositories in re3data.org are reported as using ARK while 623 repositories use DOI and 173 use generic handles. Eleven of the 21 repositories using ARK also use DOI.

Cheers,
Jens
