ARK
Archival Resource Keys (ARKs) serve as persistent identifiers [...] for information objects. Among other things, they aim to be web addresses (URLs) that don’t return 404 Page Not Found errors.
The ARK Alliance is an open global community supporting the ARK infrastructure on behalf of research and scholarship.
ARKs are the only mainstream, non-siloed, non-paywalled identifiers that you can register to use in about 48 hours. DOIs, Handles, and PURLs require that resolution and other services come from their respective centralized systems (silos). (Source: The ARK Origin Story, ARK Alliance)
