The nucleotide universal IDentifier nuID is designed to uniquely and globally identify oligonucleotide microarray probes. br Oligonucleotide probes of microarrays that are sequence identical may have different identifiers between manufacturers and even between different versions of the same company s microarray and sometimes the same identifier is reused and represents a completely different oligonucleotide, resulting in ambiguity and potentially mis identification of the genes hybridizing to that probe. This also makes data interpretation and integration of different batches of data difficult. nuID was designed to solve these problems. It is a unique, non Degeneracy degenerate encoding scheme that can be used as a universal representation to identify an oligonucleotide across manufacturers. The designed of nuID was inspired by the fact that the raw sequence of the oligonucleotide is the true definition of identity for a probe, the encoding algorithm uniquely and non degenerately transforms the sequence itself into a compact identifier a lossless compression . In addition, a redundancy check checksum was added to validate the integrity of the identifier. These two steps, encoding plus checksum, result in an nuID, which is a unique, non degenerate, permanent, robust and efficient representation of the probe sequence. For commercial applications that require the sequence identity to be confidential, encryption schema can also be added for nuID. The utility of nuIDs has been implemented for the annotation of Illumina company Illumina microarrays, which can be downloaded from Bioconductor website http www.bioconductor.org . It also has universal applicability as a source independent naming convention for oligomers. The nuID schema has three significant advantages over using the oligo sequence directly as an identifier first it is more compact due to the base 64 encoding second ...

PUID or Portable Unique IDentifier is a unique identifier used by MusicIP and given by MusicDNS to identify a song. How it works To identify songs stored in digital format, an acoustic fingerprint of the song is required. This fingerprint can be generated using the Open Fingerprint Architecture . The fingerprint is then sent to MusicDNS , a free service from MusicIP , that compares it with information already present in the database and returns the PUID of the best corresponding known song. This PUID is only a 128 bit identifier, which doesn t contain any metadata information about the song. Software http musicbrainz.org doc libofa libofa implements the Open Fingerprint Architecture and collects information about an audio file, which it then submits to MusicIP. MusicBrainz Picard uses the MusicDNS service to identify songs and get the data about it from MusicBrainz . BeaTunes Mac Win uses MusicIP to identify and tag incompletely or wrongly labelled music tracks.

Orphan date February 2009 A Service Profile Identifier SPID is a number issued by ISDN service providers in North America that identifies the services and features of an ISDN telecommunication circuit circuit . Service providers typically assign each B channel a unique SPID. A SPID is derived from the telephone number assigned to the circuit, and in the U.S. it typically follows a generic, 14 digit format. A SPID Service Profile Identifier is a number assigned by a phone company to a terminal on an Integrated Services Digital Network B channel. A SPID tells equipment at the phone company s central office about the capabilities of each terminal computer or phone on the B channels. A Basic Rate home or business user may divide service into two B channels with one used for normal phone service and the other for computer data. The SPID tells the phone company whether the terminal accepts voice or data information. Technically, the SPID is a numeric string from 3 to 20 digits in length. A SPID or more than one, if necessary is assigned when you order the ISDN Basic Rate Interface BRI from the phone company. Beginning in 1998, most phone companies began to use a generic SPID format. In this format, the SPID is a 14 digit number that includes your 10 digit telephone number which includes your 3 digit Numbering Plan Area NPA or area code , a 2 digit Sharing Terminal Identifier, and a 2 digit Terminal Identifier TID . The generic SPID format makes it easier to tell users what to specify when installing an ISDN line and simplifies corporate installation procedures. Beginning in 1998, some ISDN manufacturers began to provide non initializing terminals NITs that do not require the entering of a SPID. Manufacturers also are delivering terminals with automated SPID selection in which the correct SPID is downloaded to the terminal rather than having to be specified by the user.

Cleanup date February 2010 A dereferenceable Uniform Resource Identifier or dereferenceable URI is a resource retrieval mechanism that uses any of the internet protocols e.g. Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP to obtain a copy or representation of the resource it identifies. In the context of traditional HTML web pages, this is the normal and obvious way of working A URI refers to the page, and when requested the web server returns a copy of it. In other non dereferenceable contexts, such as XML Schema , the namespace identifier is still a URI, but this is simply an identifier i.e. a namespace name . There is no intention that this can or should be dereferenced. There is even a separate attribute, code schemaLocation code , which may contain a dereferenceable URI that does point to a copy of the schema document. In the case of Linked Data , the representation takes the form of a document typically HTML or XML that describes the resource that the Uniform Resource Identifier URI identifies. In either case, the mechanism makes it possible for a user or software agent to follow your nose to find out more information related to the identified resource. Background In computing, identifiers are used to distinguish things and to facilitate data exchange. For example, two U.S. citizens of the same name would have different Social Security number SSN . In a totally distributed system, such as the World Wide Web , a URI is used to globally identify a thing in the world. Unfortunately, because the architecture and decision is made for HTTP , URIs often identify the web page s instead of the underlying thing. To remove this confusion, URIs that identify things often include a hash see the following section .

An International Standardized Commercial Identifier ISCI code conforms to a standard used to identify Television advertisement commercial s aka spots aired on commercial television worldwide, for TV stations , ad agency ad agencies , video post production houses, radio stations and other related entities to identify commercials for airing. It was first developed in 1970 by and for American local affiliate TV stations, the TV networks that serve the affiliates, and ad agencies, to distribute commercial television advertisements more efficiently. The ISCI coding system has been maintained and operated by the American Association of Advertising Agencies AAAA and the Association of National Advertisers ANA since 1992. Prior to then, ISCI was independently maintained by its users. An ISCI code is usually a set of 8 characters, the first four being alphabetic, and the remaining four being numeric, in the format ABCD1234 . The alphabetical characters usually represent the advertiser some examples are QWAN for Wells Fargo Bank, KOCL and more recently CL for Coca Cola , and PEMX for Pepsi , and the numeric characters usually represent the spot itself, with different numbers used for either different spots, or different versions of the same spot. For example, a 30 second spot might have a code of XECA1263, while the same commercial in a shortened 20 or 15 version or in a different language such as Spanish might have a slightly different code of XECA1264. The ISCI code is unique to each individual commercial. The slightest change to an ad will lead to the use of another code. In some cases where a spot is updated or changed, or subject to change the suffix R followed by a number indicates a revision. For example, YHTX6265 would be the ISCI used by Home Depot for a garden product. If the price changed and the ad was the same otherwise, YHTX6265R1 may be used to indicate that it is the first revision of that spot. ISCI codes are usually printed on the video cassette label of a commercial ... more details
The International Standard Name Identifier ISNI is a method for uniquely identifying the public identities of contributors to media content such as books, TV programmes, and newspaper articles. It is being developed under the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization ISO as http www.iso.org iso iso catalogue catalogue tc catalogue detail.htm?csnumber 44292 Draft International Standard 27729 . The ISO technical committee 46, subcommittee 9 TC 46 SC 9 is responsible for the development of the standard. ISNI will provide a tool for disambiguating names that might otherwise be confused, and will link the data about names that are collected and used in all sectors of the media industries. Uses of an ISNI The ISNI will allow a single identity such as an author s pseudonym or the imprint used by a publisher to be identified using a unique number. This unique number can then be linked to any of the numerous other identifiers that are used across the media industries to identify names and other forms of identity. An example of the use of such a number is the identification of a musical performer who is also a writer both of music and of poems. Where he or she might currently be identified in many different databases using numerous private and public identification systems, under the proposed ISNI system, he or she would have a single linking ISNI record. The many different databases could then exchange data about that particular identity without resorting to messy methods such as comparing text strings. An often quoted example in the English language world is the difficulty faced when identifying John Smith in a database. While there may be many records for John Smith , it is not always clear which record refers to the specific John Smith that is required. ISNI will be of value to libraries and archives when sharing catalogue information it will allow for more precise searching for information online and in databases, and it will aid the management of rights ... more details
This is a list of ISBN identifier groups , the second element in 13 digit ISBN s first in 10 digit ones . The identifier is assigned to either mark a publisher s place of business or the language of the books it publishes. The original set of identifiers, assigned prior to the introduction of the ISBN 13 and as such to 978 prefix books, ranges from one to five numerical digit s according to the following structure 0 5, 7 600 649 80 94 950 989 9900 9989 99900 99999 They are assigned in approximate descending order of publishing volume. Because the smaller identifiers have room for lesser numbers of publishers and ISBNs, several countries have had more than one identifier assigned to them. On the other hand, several countries Australia, the United States, Canada, France, Austria, Switzerland... have no identifier because they fall in the language groups . The structure for the identifiers of the 979 prefix and whether it will have language specific identifiers is not yet known as only one identifier has been assigned yet 979 10 , to France .
