Each [[Release]] in [[MusicBrainz]] has a unique ReleaseID, which is an absolute [http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt URI]. It has the form <code><nowiki>http://musicbrainz.org/release/UUID</nowiki></code>, where <code><nowiki>UUID</nowiki></code> is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID Universally Unique Identifier] in its 36 character ASCII representation.

Each Release in MusicBrainz has a unique ReleaseID, which is an absolute URI. It has the form http://musicbrainz.org/release/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.
Example
The ReleaseID http://musicbrainz.org/release/1138abc1-77f4-4ba9-900d-5cf52baaf4bf is a unique identifier for the release Desire. 1138abc1-77f4-4ba9-900d-5cf52baaf4bf is a relative URI for this release.
