Renato, is there any way to maintain the updates to URN's? Will they
change as much as URL's?
I maintain there must be partnerships between systems people and
librarians, for the art of librarianship to become cybrarianship.
I think the time has come for such discussion and action in the library
industry.

Correct. You should use an identifier (ie URN).
Then you can resolve the identifer to find the (many) locations
of items in your system.
