Unique Identifiers for Organizations- Flow chart of possible solutions - Protocol / Scheme URNs? no yes Establish an assigning authority? yes no The info: URI scheme, e.g. info:agriorg: (3) Agris (like for Agris centers) ISIL: create non-national ISIL agency (4) Network Solutions, Inc (5) Establish an algorithm so that the ID can be created also locally Register a namespace? Criteria for generating the ID and syntax yes no Use URNs with registered URN namespace, e.g. urn:agri: no Meaningful? yes Use an existing one? yes no UUID, e.g.f81d4fae-7dec-11d0.. Algorithm from country, acronym, name, e.g.ITA-FAO-FDGRNZTN (5) Use URNs with un-registered URN namespace, e.g. urn:X-agri (1) Use URNs namespace for UUID, e.g. urn:uuid: (2) Metadata elements and scheme dc:identifier scheme=“dcterms:URI” for URN or info:dc:identifier scheme=“dcterms:URI” for website The URI specific scheme (http:, urn:, info:) distinguishes ags:organization @ID attribute no only? dc:identifier yes no Define a new scheme for the ID? Not possible to use URN syntax (6) Repeatable for ID and website URL? no yes yes dc:identifier scheme=“dcterms:URI” for IDdc:source scheme=“dcterms:URI” for website URL dc:identifier scheme=“ags:URN” for URNdc:identifier scheme=“dcterms:URI” for website • http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3406.txt • http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt: the ID must be a UUID, e.g. urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6 • http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4452.txt and info registry here: http://info-uri.info/ (OCLC) • http://www.bs.dk/isil/ • [Country ISO code]-[acronym]-[frist 4 consonants and last 4 consonants] or something similar • The @ID attribute is of XML type ID, which is a NCName (non-colonised) • They have registered a URN namespace for identifying people and organizations: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3043.txt. Identifiers are assigned by Network Solutions.
