| 35 | + An identifier for a (persistent) resource. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + An identifier, provided by some authority, that has been assigned to an |
| 38 | + object described by this ``NXobject``. To be useful, the identifier |
| 39 | + must not be reassigned to a different real-world object. It is typical for |
| 40 | + there to be some mechanism to resolve an identifier, obtaining metadata |
| 41 | + about the object. Identifiers for which some guarantees exist regarding |
| 42 | + this resolution process are called persistent identifiers. |
| 43 | + Persistent identifiers are also known as PIDs. |

| 47 | + The type of identifier used. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + It is recommended to use the most specific type when describing the identifier. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + For example, all IGSNs (see below) are DOIs and all DOIs are Handles; however, an IGSN should have type IGSN (and not DOI or Hdl). |
| 52 | + Similarly, an ARK, Purl, ORCID and ROR identifiers should have their corresponding types and should not use the more generic URL identifier. |

| 57 | + Archival Resource Key. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + An ARK is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) designed to support long-term access to a variety of information objects. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + Syntax: https://NMA/ark:/NAAN/Name[Qualifier]. Brackets indicate optional elements. |

| 67 | + Digital Object Identifier. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + A DOI is a unique alphanumeric string used to identify digital content. It consists of a prefix and a suffix, separated by a slash. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + Syntax: 10.XXXX/XXXXXX |

| 77 | + A handle is a unique identifier that consists of a prefix indicating the naming authority and a suffix representing the local name |
| 78 | + of a resource. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | + A handle is a unique identifier used to facilitate the identification and management of digital objects. It is composed of a prefix that |
| 81 | + indicates the naming authority and a suffix that specifies the resource's local name. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + This refers specifically to an ID in the Handle system operated by the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI). |
| 84 | + |

| 91 | + International Generic Sample Number. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | + The IGSN is a unique identifier assigned to a specific sample or specimen in the context of scientific research. |
34 | 94 |
|
| 95 | + Since 2021, IGSNs are issued by DataCite, meaning that there are now DataCite-issued DOIs for all IGSNs, |
| 96 | + including those historical IGSNs issued beforehand. Therefore, the syntax is the same as for DOIs. |

| 103 | + <doc> |
| 104 | + ISNI is an ISO standard to uniquely identify individuals and organizations involved in creative work, including pseudonyms |
| 105 | + and other public personas. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | + An ISNI-ID is made up of 16 digits, the last character being a check character. The check character may be either a decimal digit |
| 108 | + or the character “X”. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | + A URL can be generated from the ISNI ID by combining it with the prefix https://isni.org/isni/, resulting in |
| 111 | + https://isni.org/isni/{ISNI-ID}. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | + Syntax: 16 base-10 digits stored without any spaces. |

| 119 | + International Standard Serial Number |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | + An ISSN is an 8-digit unique identifier used to distinguish a serial publication, whether in print or electronic form. |
| 122 | + The last character (a digit or 'X') serves as a check character, making the ISSN uniquely defined by its first seven digits. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | + Syntax: NNNN-NNNC, where N a decimal digit character (i.e., in the set {0,1,2,...,9}), and C is in {0,1,2,...,9,X} |

| 142 | + ORCID provides a free and persistent identifier that uniquely distinguishes authors and contributors in scientific research. |
| 143 | + |

| 150 | + Persistent Uniform Resource Locator. |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | + A Persistent Uniform Resource Locator (PURL) is a type of URL designed to provide a stable, long-term reference to a web |
| 153 | + resource by using a resolver to redirect users to the resource's current location, even if it moves over time. |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | + A PURL has three parts: (1) a protocol, (2) a resolver address, and (3) a name. |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | + Syntax: https://purl.org/foo/bar |

| 175 | + Also known as web address, a URL is the address used to access a resource on the internet, |

| 184 | + Uniform Resource Name |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | + A URN is a unique, persistent identifier for a resource regardless of where it is stored. |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | + It is recommended that identifiers with more specific type attribute (such as DOI or ISSN) values should not be stored as a URN, |
| 189 | + even when this is valid. As an example, the URN doi:10.1107/S1600576714027575 is a valid URN-based representation for the DOI |
| 190 | + 10.1107/S1600576714027575, but it is recommended to use type="DOI" in this case. |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | + Syntax: urn:<namespace>:<namespace-specific-string>. The leading urn: sequence is case-insensitive. |
| 193 | + Example: urn:isbn:0000000000000 |
