Conveying access to digital content using a physical token

A method for creating conveyable physical representations of digital content, comprising:

• receiving a request to associate an identifier with an item of digital content;
• associating a globally unique identifier to a tangible medium;
• assigning a contextual identifier to said item of digital content, said contextual identifier is unique in the context of said globally unique identifier;
• creating a database record for said tangible medium, said database record including a mapping of said contextual identifier to an address to said digital content;
• associating said globally unique identifier to said database record;
• and associating said contextual identifier with said tangible medium.

A method for conveying access to digital content using a physical token, comprising:

• receiving a first identifier;
• receiving a second identifier;
• determining whether any of said first and second identifiers is associated with digital content;
• associating said digital content associated with one of said first and second identifiers with another of said first and second identifiers;
• and enabling a conveyance of said another of said first and second identifiers as a physical token.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising logic instructions for creating conveyable physical representations of digital content, said logic instructions being executable to:

• receive a request to associate an identifier with an item of digital content;
• obtain an identifier;
• determine an address of said digital content;
• associate said identifier with said address;
• and generate a physically conveyable representation of said identifier.
