This is the case the worries me. For example there is an important local
identifier here called "Books in Māori" / "BIM" Based on a recent print
work: http://books.google.co.nz/books/?id=oAUWAQAAIAAJ To the best of my
knowledge there is no digital edition of the work and unlikely to be an
economic market for one.
I had vaguely thought of a scheme inspired by
https://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/prov/jar :
urn:BOOKINDEX:<urn>!<identifier>
Where <identifier> is a identifier into whatever scheme is defined by
the indexing work specified by <urn>
