6.17. Article-Names (記事名)

The Article-Names header content indicates any special significance the article may have in particular newsgroups:

[1] Article-Names 頭の内容は特定のニュース組で記事が持っている特別な意味を示します。

• [2] Article-Names-content = 1*( name-clause space )
• [3] name-clause = newsgroup-name ":" article-name
• [4] article-name = letter 1*( letter / digit / "-" )

Each name clause specifies a newsgroup (which SHOULD be among those in the Newsgroups header) and an article name local to that newsgroup. Article names MAY be used by relayers to file the article in special ways, or they MAY just be noted for possible special attention by reading agents. Article names are case-sensitive.

[5] 各名前節にはニュース組 (Newsgroups 頭の中に含まれているのがよいです。) 及びそのニュース組での記事名を指定します。 記事名は中継者が記事を特別な方法でファイルするのに使ってもかまいませんし、読みエージェントが特別な注意を引くように注記してもかまいません。 記事名は大文字・小文字を区別しません。

NOTE: This header provides a way to mark special postings, such as introductions, frequently-asked-question lists, etc., so that reading agents have a way of finding them automatically. The news-group name is specified for each article name because the names may be newsgroup-specific; for example, many frequently-asked-question lists are posted to "news.answers" in addition to their "home" newsgroup, and they would not be known by the same name(s) in both newsgroups.

[6] 注意: この頭ははじめに, よく聞かれる質問の一覧などの特殊な投稿に印をつけて、読みエージェントが自動的にこれらを探せるようにするものです。 ニュース組名を各記事名に指定するのは、名前がニュース組規定のものかもしれないからです。 例えば、多くのよく聞かれる質問の一覧はその「地元」ニュース組に加えて「news.answers」にも投稿され、この時両ニュース組で同じ名前で知られてはいないことでしょう。

The Article-Names header SHOULD be ignored unless the article also contains an Approved header.

[7] Article-Names 頭は記事が Approved 頭も含んでいないなら無視するのがよいです。

NOTE: This stipulation is made in anticipation of the possibility that Approved headers will be involved in cryptographic authentication.

          The presence of an Article-Names header does not necessarily
          imply  that  the  article  will  be  retained unusually long
          before expiration, or that previous article(s) with  similar
          Article-Names  headers  will  be  cancelled  by its arrival.
          Posters preparing special postings SHOULD include  appropri-
          ate  other  headers,  such  as  Expires  and  Supersedes, to
          request such actions.

          Different networks MAY establish different sets  of  article
          names  for the special postings they deem significant; it is
          preferable for usage to  be  standardized  within  networks,
          although  it might be desirable for individual newsgroups to
          have different naming conventions in some situations.  Arti-
          cle  names  MUST  be  14  characters or less.  The following
          names are suggested but are not mandatory:

          intro       Introduction to the newsgroup for newcomers.

          charter     Charter, rules, organization,  moderation  poli-
                      cies, etc.

          background  Biographies  of special participants, history of
                      the newsgroup, notes on related newsgroups, etc.

          subgroups   Descriptions  of sub-newsgroups under this news-
                      group, e.g. "sci.space.news" under  "sci.space".

          facts       Information relating to the purpose of the news-
                      group, e.g. an acronym glossary in  "sci.space".

          references  Where  to get more information: books, journals,
                      FTP repositories, etc.

          faq         Answers to frequently-asked questions.

          menu        If present, a list  of  all  the  other  article
                      names   local  to  this  newsgroup,  with  brief
                      descriptions of their contents.

          Such articles may be divided into subsections using the MIME
          "multipart/mixed"  conventions.  If size considerations make
          it necessary to split  such  articles,  names  ending  in  a
          hyphen  and  a  part  number  are  suggested; for example, a
          three-part frequently-asked-questions list could have  arti-
          cle names "faq-1", "faq-2", and "faq-3".

               NOTE: It is somewhat premature to attempt to stan-
               dardize article names, since this is essentially a
               new  feature  with  no experience behind it.  How-
               ever, if reading agents are to attach special sig-
               nificance to these names, some attempt at standard
               conventions  is  imperative.   This  is  a   first
               attempt at providing some.
