    Examples of sources of law identifyed by lex URNs:

    Concrete examples

  • urn:lex:br:federal:constituicao:1988-10-05;1988: Brazilian Constitution of 1988.
  • urn:lex:br:federal:lei:2008-06-19;11705: Law nº 11.705, of June 19, 2008, known also as "Brazilian Prohibition".
  • urn:lex:it:stato:legge:2003-09-21;456 Legge italiana.
  • Transparent identifiers

    URNs are used as unique identifiers (unique IDs), like in, for example, to identify a book by its ISBN so, the URN is also nominated as "public (unique) ID". In that kind of public utilization, the need for a central authority (the International ISBN Agency in the example) as unique and necessary URN-resolver, is a problem. In that context, the identifier's user must to query the authority about the correct ID, from some object's metadata, like year or title. IDs like ISBN, that need a central authority are also named "opaque IDs".
