The Handle System is the first piece of a long-term digital object architecture. In January 2010 CNRI released its general-purpose Digital Object Repository software, which comprises the second major component of this architecture. More information about the release, including protocol specification, source code and ready-to-use system, clients and utilities, is available. The third and final piece, the Digital Object Registry, will be released shortly.
The continued use and evolution of the Handle System is in no way dependent on these other components, but those already using Handles may find them useful in small or large ways and both are, or soon will be, freely available under an open source style license.

Famous quotes containing the word related:
“No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.”
—Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
