@natesjacobs @csarven @lesliekwchan @ewout @sciteai @CrossrefOrg (10/N) But, for better or for worse, juridical persons (i.e. organizations) *can* have a much longer lifespan than actual people.

@natesjacobs @csarven @lesliekwchan @ewout @sciteai @CrossrefOrg (9/N) Which brings us to the issue of individual membership to orgs like DataCite and Crossref. Both orgs would love to enable individual membership.

@natesjacobs @csarven @lesliekwchan @ewout @sciteai @CrossrefOrg (8/N) It is inevitable that someday “http://gbilder.com” will "belong" to somebody else. Using it as the foundation of a persistent identifier for my content would be folly.

@natesjacobs @csarven @lesliekwchan @ewout @sciteai @CrossrefOrg (7/N) There are myriad ways in which I could lose control of "http://gbilder.com"- poverty, forgetfulness, divorce, death.

@natesjacobs @csarven @lesliekwchan @ewout @sciteai @CrossrefOrg (6/N) (FTR- I think use of the term "ownership" in the context of identifiers -personal or otherwise- is anathema. But that is another rant.)
