Minting API
The Minting API creates and assigns globally-unique persistent identifiers – Artsdata IDs – to entities. The API returns Artsdata IDs as URIs:
- URI format:
http://kg.artsdata.ca/resource/$1 - Regex for the ID:
^K\d+-\d+$ - Sample URI:
http://kg.artsdata.ca/resource/K12-438
The Minting API works in conjunction with the Reconciliation API: an entity should first be passed through the reconciliation API to ensure no Artsdata URI has already been minted for the entity.
Minting URIs as a service is in alpha. It provides an API for developers to request new URIs for entities being added to Artsdata.
