"Info" is a URI scheme for identifiers, and is not actionable, so it
would be treated as an identifier in the MARC record. The purpose of
info is to present identifiers in URI format for use in XML documents
where the URI format is required. MARC does not require a URI for
identifiers. Many of the current info identifiers have their own place
in MARC, so you could conceivably translate them to their
MARC-appropriate forms and fields:
info:ddc/22/eng//004.678 --> 082 $a 004.678 $2 22
That said, if you had an info URI that for some reason you wished to
place in a MARC record, it seems that it would go into 024. There isn't
a $2 code for it, but it self-identifies so that shouldn't be a problem.
