National Bibliography Number

National Bibliography Number

National Bibliography Number (NBN), a group of publication identifier systems used by national libraries in certain countries like Germany, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. There is no global standard for the contents of NBNs; instead, they have a country-specific format. NBNs are typically used for documents which do not have a publisher-assigned identifier (like ISBN). For example, they can be used to persistently identify web pages which are archived in national libraries.

A Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace for NBNs has been assigned[1], and is described in RFC 3188. Using this namespace, URNs like urn:nbn:se:xyz can be created. Some libraries, such as the National Library of Sweden, provide a resolution service for these URNs.[2]
