This template is used to reference a digital object using Uniform Resource Name. So far, only the namespace of the national libraries nbn is resolved.

Copy template

{{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: Script error: No such module "Template:URN".

With alternative resolver:

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

yields: Script error: No such module "Template:URN".

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.
