Citing publications from OPUS FHWS/URN

Generally, OPUS publications are comparable to any other conventional publications and can thus be cited as well.
Electronic publications should be cited in accordance with ISO 690-2.

Example for an article from a journal:

    Authors: Title. Title of the journal (Year) Volume (Issue), Pages.
    URN: urn:nbn:de:bvb:863-opus-XXXXX

URN

All documents are given a URN, a Uniform Resource Name.
The purpose to the URN is to identify your publication permanently and to make it searchable. The URL describes the (physical) storage location of a resource. The URN, on the other hand, does not describe the location where a file is stored but an entry at the URN Resolver of the German Library where the URN and the accompanying (current) URL are saved. The advantage is that the URN is valid even if the physical location of a resource is changed (e.g. when a server is replaced). Indicate the URN whenever you cite your work.

Unfortunately, web browsers do not facilitate URNs directly. Rather, they must be translated into URLs. This is done by the Resolving Service of the German Library: http://nbn-resolving.de. The URN must be "wrapped" in a URL so that internet browsers can send it to the Resolver which is between them. In order to access a document, the name of the Resolver http://nbn-resolving.de must be placed in front of the URN.

For example:
URN: urn:nbn:de:bvb:863-opus-1124
Entray: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:863-opus-1124
