Abstract:
   This document defines a set of ways to identify a thing (a digital
   object in this case) using the output from a hash function,
   specifying a new URI scheme for this, a way to map those to http
   URLs, and binary and human "speakable" formats for these names.  The
   various formats are designed to support, but not require, a strong
   link to the referenced object such that the referenced object may be
   authenticated to the same degree as the reference to it.  This work
   is motivated as a way to standardise current uses of hash outputs in
   URLs and to support new information-centric applications and other
   uses of hash outputs in protocols.
