  abstract =     "Many efforts in past years have been made to lower the
                 linguistic barriers for non-native English speakers to
                 access the Internet. Internet standard RFC 3490,
                 referred to as IDNA (Internationalizing Domain Names in
                 Applications), focuses on access to IDNs
                 (Internationalized Domain Names) in a range of scripts
                 that is broader in scope than the original ASCII.
                 However, the use of character variants that have
                 similar appearances and/or interpretations could create
                 confusion. A variant IDL (Internationalized Domain
                 Label), derived from an IDL by replacing some
                 characters with their variants, should match the
                 original IDL; and thus a variant IDN does. In RFC 3743,
                 referred to as JET (Joint Engineering Team) Guidelines,
                 it is suggested that zone administrators model this
                 concept of equivalence as an atomic IDL package. When
                 an IDL is registered, an IDL package is created that
                 contains its variant IDLs generated according to the
                 zone-specific Language Variant Tables (LVTs). In
                 addition to the registered IDL, the name holder can
                 request the domain registry to activate some of the
                 variant IDLs, free or by an extra fee. The activated
                 variant IDLs are stored in the zone files, and thus
                 become resolvable. However, an issue of scalability
                 arises when there is a large number of variant IDLs to
                 be activated.\par

                 In this article, the authors present a resolution
                 protocol that resolves the variant IDLs into the
                 registered IDL, specifically for Han character
                 variants. Two Han characters are said to be variants of
                 each other if they have the same meaning and are
                 pronounced the same. Furthermore, Han character
                 variants usually have similar appearances. It is not
                 uncommon that a Chinese IDL has a large number of
                 variant IDLs. The proposed protocol introduces a new RR
                 (resource record) type, denoted as VarIdx RR, to
                 associate a variant expression of the variant IDLs with
                 the registered IDL. The label of the VarIdx RR, denoted
                 as the variant index, is assigned by an indexing
                 function that is designed to give the same value to all
                 of the variant IDLs enumerated by the variant
                 expression. When one of the variant IDLs is accessed,
                 Internet applications can compute the variant index,
                 look up the VarIdx RRs, and resolve the variant IDL
                 into the registered IDL.\par

                 The authors examine two sets of Chinese IDLs registered
                 in TWNIC and CNNIC, respectively. The results show that
                 for a registered Chinese IDL, a very small number of
                 VarIdx RRs, usually one or two, are sufficient to
                 activate all of its variant IDLs. The authors also
                 represent a Web redirection service that employs the
                 proposed resolution protocol to redirect a URL
                 addressed by a variant IDN to the URL addressed by the
                 registered IDN. The experiment results show that the
                 proposed protocol successfully resolves the variant
                 IDNs into the registered IDNs.",
