  Persistent Uniform Resource Locator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PURLs are an interim measure - while Uniform Resource Names (URNs) are being mainstreamed - to solve the problem of the lack of persistence (over time) of URIs in location-based URI schemes like HTTP.
Currently, persistence problems are caused by the practical impossibility of every user having their own domain name, and the hassle and money involved in re-registering domain names, that result in WWW authors putting their documents in rather arbitrary locations of questionable persistence (i.e.
If the PURL exists the reply is a redirect to the last URL associated with it as specified by its maintainer.

 Knitting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because the yarn holding rows together is all on the front, and the yarn holding side-by-side stitches together is all on the back, stockinette fabric has a strong tendency to curl toward the front on the top and bottom, and toward the back on the left and right side.
Different combinations of knit and purl stitches, along with more advanced techniques, generate fabrics of considerably variable consistency, from gauzy to very dense, from highly stretchy to relatively stiff, from flat to tightly curled, and so on.
Other simple textures can be made with nothing but knit and purl stitches, including garter stitch, ribbing, and moss and seed stitches.

 PURLs
PURLs increase the probability of correct resolution and thereby reduce the burden and expense of catalog maintenance.
Although a PURL service is being run and maintained at OCLC, the PURL model lends itself to distribution across the net, with servers run by organizations with a commitment to maintaining persistent naming schemes (libraries, government organizations, publishers and others).
Since the introduction of the PURL model and services, a number of institutions have expressed an interest in formal participation and in running PURL servers of their own.

This is a configuration option of the PURL resolver that causes it to serve the actual resource (instead of a redirect) for a PURL whose associated URL references a resource stored under the resolver's file space.
Some clients (correctly) do not send the local reference part of the PURL to the PURL resolver but then (incorrectly) drop the local reference upon receiving the redirect from the PURL resolver and therefore fail to act on the local reference directive when the actual document is received.
If the resolution of a PURL results in an empty document when you know the document should not be empty, you may be experiencing a redirection error.

 KnittingHelp.com :: Free online Knitting Videos! :: How to Purl -- Continental, English, German, American, Norwegian ...
The Purl stitch is the same resulting stitch as the knit stitch, if you were to look at the knit stitch on the reverse side.
This method requires the fewest hand movements of any purl method, and is consequently the fastest (with the exception, perhaps, of the "Combined Knitting Method" of purling--see below).
This method produces a true purl stitch, but there is one important distinction: because the yarn is wrapped around the needle clockwise instead of the more common counter clockwise, the resulting stitch is oriented differently on the needle, and must then be worked slightly differently on the following round than would a knit stitch.

 Questions & Answers: Purl   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
[A] Purl is from an obsolete Scots word pirl, which means a “twist”.
It was applied in the sixteenth century to a thread or cord made of twisted gold or silver wire that was used for embroidery.
It may be that it was then transferred by analogy to the ribbed look of purl knitting, though the OED has a note saying that the derivation is far from obvious.
