# SBN bibliographic record identifier (BID) (`it_sbn_bid`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Identifier (BID) of a bibliographic record, such as an edition of a book, in the union catalogue of the Servizio bibliotecario nazionale (SBN) of Italian libraries. It has ten characters, as in TO01157442 or MOD0578992, and id.sbn.it/bid/ followed by it opens the record. Wikidata stores the identifiers of editions as P5485; the regexp follows its format constraint.
