Hi Gabriela,
The biggest problem with this kind of content is, in my view, the fact that the content itself might disappear, in which case a persistent identifier would not help at all. It would either send the user to a 404 Not found (which is quite the opposite of what a persistent identifier should do) or it would point to a “tombstone” page, if managed properly. My suggestion would be to think about the content first and save it into a web archive. Either into an institutional or national library web archive, or using Internet Archive’s Save Page now service. People could then use these URLs for citation (which should be best practice anyway for any web content) or, if desired (and possible) link persistent identifiers to these URLs.
As a side note, the Internet Archive is probably the biggest user of ARKs (or is it maybe Portico?), but, as far as I know, they only use them internally. At least for the time being…
Kind regards,
Roxana

Gabriela, PURLs (purl.org) may be an option for one-off persistent identifiers (persistent URLs in this case). It's now run by the Internet Archive and is open to anybody. -Greg
