At least in life sciences, there are the Gene Ontology abbreviations for cross-referenced databases: http://www.geneontology.org/doc/GO.xrf_abbs
That document defines a wide range of prefixes, base URIs and URI templates for resolving relevant identifiers, and provides regexps for validating the syntax of identifiers. I think that the GO xrefs are extremely useful and would be on Michel's side on including them. Best wishes, Joachim
