ARK Alliance ARK Alliance: Global community for open, decentralized ARK identifiers supporting research and scholarship. 8.2 billion ARKs created by 1600+ orgs.

The ARK Alliance (arks.org) will convert its documentation practices to align with modern form ARKs, the most visible difference being removal of the slash ('/') at the end of "ark:/", a non-breaking change -- two ARKs that differ only in form are equivalent in perpetuity. arks.org/news/2025-07...
