[ome-devel] ID pattern

[Andrew Patterson]

Hello Heinrich,

There is a page in the documentation about IDs.
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/ome-model/developers/id-and-lsid.html

But basically yes, the left most part is enforced by the regex, the right most part is free text.

Annotation:1 is valid.
OffsetAnnotation:1 is not valid.
Annotation:Offset:1 is valid.
urn:lsid:ph.tum.de:Annotation:1 is valid with respect to the regex but to be a genuine LSID is should contain a guid to make it unique. e.g. 'urn:lsid:ph.tum.de:Annotation:B13E1E30-AA09-4DD7-8962-6D7E6EB7768C'

If you are working with objects within a file the short form is sufficient.

Hope this helps,

Andrew
