identifier-syntax
description
Identifiers in the sid namespace consist of two parts. The first part is an
Internet domain name, subdomain name, or host name that is associated with the
collection. This ensures uniqueness of identifiers. The second, optional, part
of an identifier of the sid namespace is a string that may provide further
details about the nature of the collection.  Examples: 
	info:sid/amazon.co.uk 
	info:sid/oclc.org 
	info:sid/amazon.co.uk:books
	info:sid/oclc.org:inspec

identifier-normalization
description
A sid identifier is case-insensitive, and the canonical form is obtained by
representing all upper case letters to their lowercase equivalents.
namespace-information
description
The sid namespace facilitates the identification of collections of information
assets. A collection of information assets could be an organization, a website,
a publisher, or a database.  Identifiers in the sid namespace consist of two
parts. The first part is an Internet domain name, subdomain name, or host name
that is associated with the collection. This ensures uniqueness of identifiers.
The second, optional, part of an identifier of the sid namespace is a string
that may provide further details about the nature of the collection.  The sid
namespace was created to accommodate needs in the NISO Z39-88-2004 Standard
"The OpenURL Framework for Context-Sensitive Services".
