Standardsid
Standardsid is a term used to describe a proposed persistent identifier system for standards documents and their versions. The concept envisions a centralized or federated scheme that assigns a stable, machine-tractable ID to each standard record and to its successive revisions, amendments, and supersession events. The goal is to improve citation, discovery, and interoperability across standards bodies, libraries, suppliers, and researchers.
The core idea behind Standardsid is to decouple the identity of a standard from its issuing body
Rationale for Standardsid arises from the fragmentation of standard numbering and citation practices across multiple organizations
Design considerations for Standardsid include ensuring global uniqueness, resolvability through a stable URI or DOI-like syntax,
