{{URN|Identifier}}

URN

• Namespace: So far, only the namespace nbn assigned by the national libraries is resolved. A complete list of defined namespaces can be found at iana.org (English).
• Object identifier: Individual code for each document. Often also contains a further subdivision into sub-namespaces such as de.

Optional (third) parameter:

• Abbreviation of the alternative resolver/locator.

Examples

{{URN|nbn:de:101-2014050500}}
{{URN|nbn|de:101-2014050500}}

yields:

With alternative resolver:

{{URN|nbn:de:bvb:12-bsb10328264-6|resolver=mdz}}
{{URN|nbn|de:bvb:12-bsb10328264-6|mdz}}

yields:

Alternative resolvers

For technical reasons, in some cases it is necessary not to use the resolver of the national library (such as nbn-resolving.de for the DNB), but specific to a union or particular libraries. Currently, the following alternative resolvers are offered:

• halle
• kiel: Some URNs of Kiel University Library (which start with urn:nbn:de:gbv:8:2) are not registered with DNB.
• mdz: Some of the URNs of the MDZ Munich are not registered with the DNB and contain an incorrect check digit. These can only be resolved via this resolver.
• miami: The URNs of the MIAMI project of Münster University Library refer to a document download on DNB pages instead of an overview page.
