Make it better. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/obi-developer/4IJkVuFAzvQ Jie said:\r\n\r\nHere is the definitions of CRID and CRID symbol in http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/iao.owl CRID\r\nTerm IRI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/IAO_0000578 definition: An information content entity that consists of a CRID symbol and additional information about which CRID registry it belongs. \r\nexample of usage: PMID:12345\r\nCRID symbol\r\nTerm IRI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/IAO_0000577 definition: A symbol that is part_of a CRID and that is sufficient to look up a record from the CRID's registry.\r\neditor note: \r\nIAO call, 20101124: 12345 is not a CRID symbol. To be a CRID symbol you need to have some information about the registry within which the CRID is recorded\r\nexample of usage: PMID:12345, 12345 in a database column which has header \"pubmedID\"\r\n\r\nBased on the definitions, notes and examples, I cannot tell the difference between CRID and CRID symbol. I think they are same. If anyone can clarify it would be great.\r\n\r\nBjoern explained:\r\n\r\nThe same 'symbol', e.g. 6192348 can be e.g. a social security number, a telephone number or a pubmed ID. \r\nThe complete crids would be conveying beyond the symbol also the context in which it is meant to be used  e.g. (telephone number: 619 23 48), (PMID: 6192348), (SSN: 619 2348).\n\n_Original issue: http://code.google.com/p/information-artifact-ontology/issues/detail?id=149_"}}
