Definition (en)

URI, as a value for the type attribute of any of the LIDO identifier elements, such as Actor Identifier, Concept Identifier, Event Identifier, designates a globally unique assigned code that conforms to the syntax as defined in IETF RFC3986. An URI may have meaning outside of the local system.

LIDO Terminology (2015-)
Scope Note (en)

Universal Resource Identifiers (URIs) can be used to establish relationships between resources from disparate source systems.

Identifiers, such as Digital Object Identifier (DOI), Handle (HDL), International Standard Book Number (ISBN), International Standard Music Number (ISMN), International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI), International Standard Recording Code (ISRC), International Standard Serials Number (ISSN), should be expressed as Universal Resource Identifiers (URIs). See examples for recommendations.
Due to the lack of discovery options for resolvers for the various Uniform Resource Name (URN) schemes it is recommended to express URNs as URLs including the resolver address.

It is highly recommended to express URIs as HTTP URIs whenever applicable.

LIDO Terminology (2015-)
Example (en)

HDL (Handle) can be expressed as URIs by prefixing the resolver URL http://hdl.handle.net/:
http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015000000482

ISSNs (International Standard Serial Number) can be expressed as URIs in the urn scheme according to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3044:
urn:ISSN:1534-0481

ISNIs (International Standard Name Identifiers) can be expressed as URIs by prefixing the resolver URL http://isni.org/:
http://isni.org/000000012150090X

ARKs (Archival Resource Keys) can be expressed as URIs by prefixing the Name Mapping Authority Hostport (NMAH) part as described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kunze-ark-18:

[http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k107371t]
[ NMAH / ark ]

DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers ISO 26324) can be expressed as URIs by prefixing the resolver URL http://dx.doi.org/:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.726855

ISBNs (International Standard Book Numbers ISO 2108:2005) can be expressed as URIs in two different ways (which might complicate comparison of identifiers).

Example of an ISBN in the urn scheme according to (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3187):
URN:ISBN:978-3-7657-1538-9

It is possible to use the ISBN as an actionable ISBN (ISBN-A https://www.doi.org/factsheets/ISBN-A.html and https://www.isbn-international.org/content/other-identifiers ) within the resolvable DOI namespace (prefix 10.978 and 10.979 are reserved within the DOI namespace). The URIs are defined to be unique but not neccessarily resolvable, if not registered:
http://dx.doi.org/10.978.37657/15389

For other published identifiers (including URNs as URIs) use a community accepted (and adopted) good pratice depending on the scope and potential use. In Germany, for example, cultural heritage institutions might be identified by an ISIL (International Standard Identifier for Libraries and Related Organizations, ISO 15511). A good practice in that case is to use the resolver URI http://ld.zdb-services.de/resource/organisations/*ISIL* (e.g., http://ld.zdb-services.de/resource/organisations/DE-1).

The LIDO Terminology refers to LIDO – Lightweight Information Describing Objects, the XML Schema for contributing content to cultural heritage repositories, provided by the CIDOC LIDO Working Group.

It complements the LIDO specification and is intended to further enhance the interoperability of LIDO data across different collections by introducing controlled type vocabularies for certain LIDO elements and attributes.

The LIDO Terminology is committed to the Linked Open Data paradigm by making each LIDO Term referenceable through a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). It is recommended best practice to use the URI from the terminology.lido-schema.org/ namespace to indicate the type of a LIDO element or attribute. The primary objective of this practice is to support data providers in adapting or mapping their data structures to LIDO, thus facilitating the processing of LIDO data for service providers, increasing the interoperability of LIDO data, and supporting information retrieval across different collections.

Work on the LIDO Terminology is carried out on behalf of the CIDOC LIDO Working Group by the LIDO-DE Working Group.

The LIDO Terminology provides for selected LIDO elements or attributes a list of terms. LIDO Terms are displayed with the T-icon in the xTree public view. A LIDO Term is identified by a URI and has at least a preferred label in English and a definition. It may also have preferred labels in other languages, alternative labels, semantic relations to other LIDO Terms, and a scope note. Wherever possible the definition is taken from or references to authoritative sources (e.g., the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model, the Categories for the Description of Works of Art, the Art & Architecture Thesaurus or the CONA Editorial Guidelines).
Each LIDO Term is provided in several machine-readable formats (RDF, JSON, NT, TriG, Turtle) and can be accessed through a SPARQL endpoint.

Examples of the use of the LIDO Terminology can be found in the LIDO Primer: https://lido-schema.org/documents/primer/latest/lido-primer.html .
