Abstract
Kenobi versioning provides small online publishers with a simple, unified approach to naming, updating, and citing publications. However, it is easy to generalize to any scale of publication. Each document in a group is named using its date of creation or inception. This inception date is then combined with the group name variants to create the names and addresses that always point to the document’s latest version. Snapshots of how the current document once looked, called obsoletes, replace versions. Kenobi names and addresses are compact, unique, durable, human-readable, and DOI compatible, and help maintain a simple relationship between document names, addresses, and citations.
