Upon readig this I am unclear regarding the object. Is this a correct 
interpretation of the rewriting of the following urn (current structure)

urn:ddi_3_1:DataCollection.Methodology=icpsr.us.ddi: 
DataCol_1(2_0).METH_2(1_1)

Would now be:

urn:ddi:icpsr.us.ddi:3_1:DataCollection.DataCol_1.Methodology.1_1.METH_2

What about version number of the DataCollection?

Or do you mean:

urn:ddi:icpsr.us.ddi:3_1:DataCollection.DataCol_1.METH_2.1_1

So I don't ever declare what type of object I am referencing just the type 
of its parent maintainable. Still have the question of the version number 
of the parent maintainable. I can have two objects in a maintainable with 
the same ID but different versions can't I?
