	Urn problem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		An urn problem is an idealized thought experiment in which some objects of real interest (such as atoms, people, cars, etc.) are represented as colored balls in an urn or other container.
		Urn problems have been a part of the theory of probability since at least the publication of the Ars conjectandi by Jakob Bernoulli (1713).
		This problem was known as the inverse probability '' problem, and was a topic of research in the eighteenth century, attracting the attention of Abraham de Moivre and Thomas Bayes.

		Romans placed the urns in a niche in a collective tomb called a "columbarium" (literally, "dovecote": the interior of a dovecote is usually covered in rows of niches to house doves).
		The discovery of a Bronze Age urn burial in Norfolk prompted Sir Thomas Browne to deliver a careful description of the antiquties found, and then expand to give a survey of most of the burial and funerary customs, ancient and current, of which his era was aware, in Hydriotaphia or Urn Burial (1658).
		Urns are a common form of architectural detail and garden ornament.

		The "Urn" is a particularly good text for these issues because, like all of Keats's odes, but especially the "Ode to Psyche" and the "Ode to a Nightingale," it is so self-conscious about its own interpretive practice.
		For the speaker of the "Urn," this generic interpretive difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that his particular object of interpretation is frustratingly both within and beyond his horizon.
		The urn's refusal to identify the figures ("what men or gods are these?") that are, however, clearly visible.

		URN is an Egret-based system designed to address the "information explosion" that occurs through use of world-wide information resources such as the Internet USENET newsgroups, gopher, and so forth.
		URN attempts to exploit collaboration among people with similar interests to support incremental restructuring, classification, and filtering of these information sources.
		URN is designed to explore the representations and processes needed to provide a model of the interests of individuals within the group that can be used to predict the relevancy of future Usenet contributions.

		The poem seeks to idealize the urn, that is, as an embodiment (and thus an expression), as an incarnation (and thus a revelation) of transcendent and intelligible meaning in a sensible form.
		In stanza one, for example, the urn is represented as both "historian" and poet, but the speaker cannot decode the "flowery tale" it tells, a readerly and writerly failure intensified, as already mentioned, in stanza four.
		A similar problem unfolds in stanza five as the speaker seeks to elicit from the urn a transcendental message both aesthetic and ontological that will bring the poem to thematic and formal closure and that will confirm the urn's (and the poem's) status as a revelatory Romantic symbol.

	DP96: Defining a Uniform Resource Name Field
		URNs improve upon URLs because they are intended to provide a globally unique, location independent identifier that can be used for identification of the resource, and to thus facilitiate access to both metadata ("data about data") about it and to the resource itself.
		URN groups reached outline agreement on most of the major issues at a meeting of URN groups in October 1995 at the University of Tennessee.
		The disadvantage to this approach is that it puts the URN at the copy level (field 856 is in the holdings block of fields, similar to field 852 for the library location).

		URNs could provide to the electronic publishimg of scientific journals all the elements to generate enthusiasm to the scientific community: permanency of the rssource, ease of access to the ressource, methodical referencing of the resource similar to the journal itself, and best of all: faster availability of the publications.
		A URN request should look like: urn:namingauthority:reference, where the reference, in the case of scientific publication will be: journalname.issue#.volume#.page#.html So, full request from the user will be: urn:namingauthority:journalname.issue#.volume#.page# The request is sent to the namingauthority, a server on the internet that is DNS resolved, and that has, by some means, a real insurance of permanence.
		The URN resolution could only prompt you the reference that is the closest to you or a list of reference, with their locality.

		To lessen this problem, the NAPTR rules are always applied to the original URI, never to the output of previous rules.
		First, URN resolution is new to the IETF and we wish to gain operational experience before recommending any procedure for the standards track.
		Resolution services are operations such as N2R (URN to Resource), N2L (URN to URL), N2C (URN to URC), etc. These will be discussed in the URN Resolution Services document[6], and their behavior in a particular resolution protocol will be given in the specification for that protocol (see [5] for a concrete example).

	Thoughts on the URN Problem
		No one denies the validity of the Bayes formula, of course, but I am not convinced that it can be applied to the urn problem in the way McCormick suggests.
		Note that the value p is to be my Bayesian prior relating to the balls in a particular urn and in this context the use of the binomial formula is not itself a Bayesian prior.
		My conclusion is that the Bayes formula can and should be used to show the logical relationship between the various probabilities involved in a problem but if the process is taken beyond this point it may only offer fool’s gold.

		Additional Problem: A counting problem initially may not look like a ball and urn problem but can easily be solved by thinking of the variables as either distinguishable or indistinguishable balls or urns and then applying one of the four basic formulas.

		In practice, the URN specification defines (1) a formal registration process as a urn namespace, e.g., urn:doi:10.1000/1 and (2) accompanying specifications to implement a series of functional requirements for such namespaces.
		Such identifiers may be implemented using a specially written URN plug-in and resolved to URLs: functionally this gives nothing beyond the functionality achieved by coherent management of the corresponding URLs.
		URN resolutions are then delegated to that scheme-specific resolution service.

	Reply to “Thoughts on the URN problem
		This problem is to estimate, given an urn known to contain only fl and white balls, the probability that all of the balls are white after a number of white and only white balls have been drawn, with replacement.
		In the original article, I did not delve deeply into this problem as it was mostly intended to introduce the notion of probability as a distribution in contrast to the naïve notion of probability as a point estimate.
		A strength of the dynamic linear models that were the focus of the article is that they simultaneously estimate both means and variances, so it’s important to understand probabilities as distributions.

	Hume’s Problem of Induction
		Still we don’t think the argument is logically fallacious; the reasoning here is pretty good – while not guaranteed to be true, the conclusion still seems supported by the evidence, and so seems at least likely to be true.
		At this point, Hume adopts a “skeptical solution” to the problem: the strategy here is to translate statements about matters the skeptic claims we can’t have any knowledge about into statements about things our knowledge of which is not thrown into question.
		So statements about the causal powers of things really should be reconceived as statements about the connections in our minds between the ideas of those things.
