Open Archives API » Open Archives URI

All records presented on Open Archives have an URI. The URI consists of the domain name, a code for the source archive and a GUID. For example: https://www.openarchieven.nl/rat:48c2b836-385f-11e0-bcd1-8edf61960649

The URI resolves to content based on the given HTTP Accept header:

• text/turtle - returns the information of the record in Turtle format (linked data *) loosely based on the A2A information model
• text/turtle+civ - returns the information (with data standardized) of the record in Turtle format (linked data *) based on the Civil Registries Schema (CIV)
• application/n-triples - returns the information of the record in N-Triple format (linked data *) loosely based on the A2A information model
• application/n-triples+civ - returns the information (with data standardized) of the record in N-Triple format (linked data *) based on the Civil Registries Schema (CIV)
• application/json - returns the information of the record in JSON format loosely based on the A2A information model
• application/xml - returns the information of the record in XML format based on the A2A information model
• application/x-gedcom - returns the information of the record in GEDCOM 5.5.5 specification
• text/html (or no Accept header) - returns the information in HTML format (of Open Archive website), this also contains microdata based on http://schema.org/Person and http://historical-data.org/HistoricalRecord plus an embedded A2A XML record.

The data in linked data form uses URIs in the form https://www.openarchieven.nl/id/ (for record, person, event, relationep, relatiopp and source). These URI's resolve to the resource in Turtle or N-Triple format (according to specified HTTP Accept header).
