Label ID

Description

Each Label in MusicBrainz has a unique Label ID, which is an absolute URI. It has the form http://musicbrainz.org/label/UUID, where UUID is a Universally Unique Identifier in its 36 character ASCII representation. In situations where the context is clear (such as file tags), just the UUID part can be used, leaving a relative URI.

MusicBrainz also has UUIDs for artists and releases.

Example

The LabelID http://musicbrainz.org/label/713c4a95-6616-442b-9cf6-14e1ddfd5946 is a unique identifier for the label Blue Note. 713c4a95-6616-442b-9cf6-14e1ddfd5946 is a relative URI for this label.

Labels suggested readings

Labels in MusicBrainz are an important and relatively complex topic. It's recommended that you first start familiarizing yourself with the basic concepts in the General information category of the navigation bar (up that page).

You may then consult the documentation pertaining to AdvancedRelationships and labels, which are listed on the LabelRelationshipClass page.

Editors who want to do more researches, may consult one of the items listed under Advanced documentation.

If you still need help, you may ask your question on the UsersMailingList, the MusicBrainzForum, the IRC channel, or the LabelDiscussion page.

If you're interested in either the future or the past, you may additionally consult/contribute to LabelFuture (suggest enhancements, list problems and limitations, or propose a new masterplan), or LabelHistory (for a list of fixed tickets and some interesting insight into the old days)
