Government Organisation Register (GB-GOR)
Description
The UK Government Organisation Register was a service provided by the Government Digital Service which retired on March 15 2021. It contained an identifier for every government body with a presence on the gov.uk single domain.
This covered government departments, agencies and Arms Length Bodies (ALBs).
Each organisation was assigned an alphanumeric identifier, and the register also included website addresses, that could be mapped to entries in the GB-GOVUK identifier list.
How to use
The code for this list is GB-GOR.
When you have located the organization you wish to identify in this list, you should either:
Enter it in an identifier database field prefixed with GB-GOR.
GB-GOR-[ IDENTIFIER ]
Examples
GB-GOR-OT1211
GB-GOR-PB1204
GB-GOR-EA1113
Alternatively, use it within a two-part identifier, with GB-GOR as the 'scheme', and the identifier you have located as the 'identifier' field.
