+Fatcat Identifiers
+=======================
+
+AKA, `fcid`
+
+## Public Use / Reference
+
+When referencing identifiers in external databases, should prefix with the
+entity type. Eg:
+
+ release_hsmo6p4smrganpb3fndaj2lon4
+ editgroup_qinmjr2lbvgd3mbt7mifir23fy
+
+Or with a prefix:
+
+ fatcat:release_hsmo6p4smrganpb3fndaj2lon4
+
+As a usability affordance, the public web interface (though not API) should do
+permanent redirects HTTP (301 or 308) to the canonical page like:
+
+ https://fatcat.wiki/release_hsmo6p4smrganpb3fndaj2lon4
+ HTTP 301 => https://fatcat.wiki/release/hsmo6p4smrganpb3fndaj2lon4
+
+However, no intention to use identifiers in this schema in the API itself?
