Right now Koha use a very volatile URI scheme. If we seek having not ephemeral
URIs they should be completely different. Take a look to this article from 1998
of a guy called Tim Berners-Lee:
"Cool URIs don't change" https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI
A normal Koha URI looks like this:
https://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=117351
This URI is doomed to die in the short term, is not designed thinking in
long-term. We have a lot of information about the tools and technical things
used to put it there, like "cgi-bin", "koha" and "pl".
Is not even consistent about using always en_US (american English):
"/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbooks.pl" (cataloguing != cataloging).
As the article say we shouldn't forget about domain name. We could encourage
the use of more permanent words like "catalog" for the host part of the FQDN.
PS: This may be related to the robust RESTful URI.
