# Legacy Identifier Mapping

Earlier iSHARE Framework versions used short numeric identifiers (`0000`, `0001`, …) to reference licenses in delegation evidence. From Framework v3.0 onwards, the canonical license identifier is a fully-qualified URL (e.g. `https://licenses.ishare.eu/general-unrestricted/1.0`).

This page defines the canonical mapping from every recognised legacy identifier — in both bare and namespaced form — to its v3.0 canonical URL, and the timeline for the transition.

## Mapping table

Both the bare form (`0001`) and the namespaced form (`ISHARE.0001`) MUST be treated as equivalent and MUST map to the same canonical URL.

| Legacy identifier (bare) | Legacy identifier (namespaced) | Canonical URL                                                            |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `0000`                   | `ISHARE.0000`                  | `https://licenses.ishare.eu/general-unrestricted/1.0`                    |
| `0001`                   | `ISHARE.0001`                  | `https://licenses.ishare.eu/general-resharing-with-adhering-parties/1.0` |
| `0002`                   | `ISHARE.0002`                  | `https://licenses.ishare.eu/general-internal-use/1.0`                    |
| `0003`                   | `ISHARE.0003`                  | `https://licenses.ishare.eu/general-non-commercial-use/1.0`              |
| `0004`                   | `ISHARE.0004`                  | `https://licenses.ishare.eu/general-enrich-with-own-data/1.0`            |
| `0005`                   | `ISHARE.0005`                  | `https://licenses.ishare.eu/general-enrich-with-others-data/1.0`         |
| `0008`                   | `ISHARE.0008`                  | `https://licenses.ishare.eu/general-use-to-service-entitled-party/1.0`   |
| `9999`                   | `ISHARE.9999`                  | `https://licenses.ishare.eu/general-determined-between-parties/1.0`      |

### Gaps and licenses without a legacy form

* **`0006` and `0007`** were never assigned in the legacy scheme.
* **`general-internal-use-insights`** and **`general-enrich-with-third-party-generated-data`** are v3.0 additions and have no legacy numeric form. They MUST be referenced by canonical URL only.
* **All certification, country, and industry licenses** have no legacy numeric form. They MUST be referenced by canonical URL only.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://licenses.ishare.eu/legacy-identifiers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
