Release ID

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.
