UID Brainstorming
This page is for brainstorming about ideas, proposals, constraints, requirements for a UID microformat.
Authors
- Tantek Çelik
- Ed Summers
Experience
- a microformat for indicating something *is* an identifier rather than the solved problem of providing a microformat *for* identifiers (RFC 2396)
Goals Requirements
- a method of publishing an asserted globally unique identifier for a piece of content or a referenced item
Thoughts
It seems like in the 80% case (perhaps 99.99% case on the Web), a UID
Proposals
Just use UID from hCard
- Tantek proposed that we see if we can reuse uid from hCard, similar to how we have reused geo and adr from hCard.

- RFC 2396 Uniform Resource Identifiers
- RFC 4452 the "info" URI scheme for information assets with identifiers in public namespaces.
- COinS for putting attaching openurl context objexts to a span.
- unAPI has a technique for embedding IDs in html so that they can be retrieved from an unAPI service.
- Tag URI an algorithm that lets people mint identifiers that no one else using the same algorithm could ever mint.
