The URN's Namespace Identifiers are the content types

· application
· expression
· map
· genomic
· physical
· query
· sequence
· sequence-alignment
· sequence-pattern
· structure
· user

Using the BSA pattern, db.release/id.version, as the URN's Namespace
Specific String, results in identifiers of the form

  x-contentType:repository.release:id.version
