Purple -- Granular addressability for the web and beyond

Purple generates stable, immutable identifiers that may be used to address granular content. These identifiers generally manifest themselves as "purple numbers."

On the web, you can always link to documents, but linking to granular content like paragraphs in a document is a shakier proposition. Purple lets you link or transclude granular content on the web.

Purple

• Generates identifiers and associates them with a URL. That identifier can then be used as a stable address, even if the URL changes.
• Provides an HTTP interface for retrieving and updating identifiers in the database.
