This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
Identifier for a piece of life-science data, written in URN form as urn:lsid:<authority>:<namespace>:<object id>, optionally followed by :<version>. The authority is usually the domain name of the issuing service. The lsid namespace was never registered with IANA. LSIDs are still used by biodiversity catalogues such as ZooBank to identify taxonomic names and publications.
