Question: could we register a cuid: URI scheme, or URN scheme?
Question
Might it be useful to register cuids to give them one higher level of scope at web scale?
Examples
It could look like
cuid:ckxls1y3900009yrx442e23rf
Or
urn:cuid:ckxls1y3900009yrx442e23rf
This doesnt handle slugs but would work for a full cuid
Similar Use
This would be similar to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier#Format
Which has
urn:uuid:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000
Benefits and Motivation
This has the benefit of being able to be put in a database full of different items identified in different ways, and able to tell what is what
Before registration, simply coming to a consensus of what it would look like would probably be enough to get implementations going
Motivation: I'd like to start using cuids together with linked objects where using a global URI is encouraged
I'd be happy to support this process, but I don't have time to champion a scheme standard for it.
