John Kunze is an American computer scientist, mostly known for his pioneering work in the field of digital libraries and digital preservation, particularly in the development of the ARK identifier scheme.
Career[edit]
John Kunze was born February 4, 1958 in Boston, Massachusetts and attended public schools in St. Louis, Missouri and Corona del Mar, California.[1]
He started working at the UC Berkeley computer center in 1977. In the late 80s/early 90s, he was the lead programmer for Infocal, Berkeley’s first Campus-Wide Information System. He implemented the library-specific Z39.50 search protocol in a general information system context[2]. He contributed to the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) system, basis of macOS[3], notably by writing the jot[4], lam[5] and rs[6] UNIX commands in the early 80s, and by maintaining the Termcap terminal interoperation facility[7]. In the 90s, he had a pioneering role in web standardization efforts, and published the Internet Resource Locator RFC that helped settle consensus on the URL standard[8].
After UC Berkeley, he joined the UCSF Library and Center for Knowledge Management, and later the US National Library of Medicine, where he led creation of the first Dublin Core metadata standards: RFC 2413[9] (editor), RFC 2731[10] (author), and ANSI/NISO Z39.85[11] (chair).
In 2001 he joined the California Digital Library, where his main work was with digital preservation and research data curation. He created widely adopted digital preservation standards such as the ARK identifier scheme and the BagIt specification, and published the first version of the WARC web archiving file format standard[12]. His tool development work includes the identifier minting and resolving tool Noid[13] and the N2T[14] scheme-agnostic identifier resolver[15].
He is now a core member and initiator of the international ARK Alliance community[16] that fosters use and dissemination of ARK identifiers.
