That's just a flaw in TV-Anytime that should be fixed.
Why not switch it to use real URLs that actually go somewhere (as the
Semantic Web is supposed to) and stop using CRIDs - integrate the two
ideas :)

yes, i agree that TV-Anytime supplies some of the requirement (indeed,

but does TVA, despite the URN (the crid, i.e.
crid://my.id.creator/xxxxxxxxxxx88r; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crid),
supply the "on the Web" part?
depending on one's philosophical bent, that's one of the potential
problems with URNs & thus CRIDs: they can't (easily) be dereferenced, in
the way that a "regular old" URL can be... URNs aren't "on the Web"...
i guess what i'm saying is that the "regular old" URL for a programme
Episode should be just as "permanent" as the TVA CRID -- and because
it's permanent AND "on the Web", the "regular old" URL is even more
useful than the CRID.
the permanent URL works great for people AND machines (which can follow
the link from the URL to the CRID and thus to the asset(s))...
everybody wins?

Isn’t that TV-Anytime ?
Each programme has a unique URI identifier. Then a separate data source
holds a mapping between the IDs and the locations it can be obtained from
