2. PRESIDENTIAL DOCUMENT IDENTIFIERS (PDI): Each distributed document carries a DOCUMENT-ID header containing a PDI. The document identifier is a location-independent method of referring to documents. Various locations will be able to resolve these document-ids and provide the document. Currently, there is a subject line command in the server to retrieve documents according to their document-id. We have developed a simple syntax for universal document identifiers that is used in the DOCUMENT-ID field. The intention is for servers at different sites to be able to return the document or information about the document based on its PDI. PDIs are compatible with URL parsers from WWW and have the following form: White House example: PDI://oma.eop.gov.us/1994/07/22/3.text.1 Generic: PDI://document-series/year/month/day/number.format.version Document-Series: This is a hierarchical path, usually denoting the issuing authority but it definitely does not denote a physical address. Year: four digits. Month: two digits. Day: two digits. Number: the nth document issued under DOCUMENT-SERIES on DAY. Format: Indicates the desired format of the document (optional) We are currently supporting: text | summary Version: Integer indicating the preferred version (optional). Relevant only when a document has been supersedes by a corrected version.
