Tango.info object id

Definition

A tango.info object id is a tango.info object name that identifies exactly one tango.info object.

Descriptive information

Each id has an authority that issued the id.

Format

The string fits the regex [-._ /:A-Za-z0-9]+

Currently the ":" is used only in the time component[1] of an ISO 8601 identifier.

Currently the "/" is used only in

• the disc ID.
• timezone id

Currently the "_" is used only in the youtube videoID.

Currently the "." is used only in the

• tango.info youtube video id, format: youtube.<youtube video id>
• tango.info ipi person id, format: ipi.<IPI-13 number>

Currently case sensitivity only exists in

• the youtube videoID.
• the ISWC

Preferences

For object identifiers the char preferences are given by the following order:

char as regex	note
0-9
a-zA-Z
_	if a space shall be presented used inside youtube ids
-	to increase readability, e.g. in ISO 8601 data representation for concatenation, e.g. in TINT used inside youtube ids
/	concatenation, e.g. in file system used in discID and tzid
.	concatination, when / is not available, e.g. in file names

Transformations

In path names the "/" is used. If "/" cannot be used the general recommendation is to use the "." instead.

That also means the . and / are to be avoided inside ids, if possible.
