For example: “info:bibframe\publisherNumber\ 256A090”. 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> cheers stuart
