Definition from https://www.lsid.info/ (Accessed 2024-07-29):

The Life Sciences Identifier (LSID) is an Interoperable Informatics Infrastructure Consortium (I3C) and OMG Life Sciences Research (LSR) Uniform Resource Name (URN) specification in progress.

The LSID concept introduces a straightforward approach to naming and identifying data resources stored in multiple, distributed data stores in a manner that overcomes the limitations of naming schemes in use today. Almost every public, internal, or department-level data store today has its own way of naming individual data resources, making integration between different data sources a tedious, never-ending chore for informatics developers and researchers.

By defining a simple, common way to identify and access biologically significant data, whether that data is stored in files, relational databases, in applications, or in internal or public data sources, LSID provides a naming standard underpinning for wide-area science and interoperability.

A detailed LSID URN naming specification is available at the OMG LSR.
