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. In situations where the context is clear (such as file tags), just the <code><nowiki>UUID</nowiki></code> part can be used, leaving a ''relative URI''.

==Example==

The ReleaseID <code><nowiki>http://musicbrainz.org/release/1138abc1-77f4-4ba9-900d-5cf52baaf4bf</nowiki></code> is a unique identifier for the release [[Album:1138abc1-77f4-4ba9-900d-5cf52baaf4bf|Desire]]. <code><nowiki>1138abc1-77f4-4ba9-900d-5cf52baaf4bf</nowiki></code> is a relative URI for this release.
