GOV.UK - UK Government Departments, Agencies & Public Bodies (GB-GOVUK)

List Type: secondary

How to use

The code for this list is
GB-GOVUK. 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-GOVUK.

GB-GOVUK-[ IDENTIFIER ]

Alternatively, use it within a two-part identifier, with GB-GOVUK as the 'scheme', and the identifier you have located as the 'identifier' field.

Description

This list is deprecated in favour of GB-GOR, the Government Organisation Registry which assigns a unique code to each agency with a page at www.gov.uk.

To construct a legacy GB-GOVUK identifier, use the final segment of the url of a body at http://www.gov.uk (below /organisations) as the "registration number", converting all "-" to "_". Keep "registration number" portion all lowercase.

It should be possible to map form GB-GOVUK to GB-GOR identifiers.
