Re: [urn] LEI namespace registration request

[Ivan Marin <[e-mail]>]

Dear Mr. Thompson,

Let me answer to your questions:

    1) Are LEIs restricted to _non-human_ legal entities?  If so, please
       say so.  If not, then there _are_ serious privacy and
       interoperability considerations at the very least.
    
	[GLEIF answer]	
		YES, LEI codes are restricted to _non-human_ legal entities.

    2) Is the GLEIF API web-based?  That is, is there a mapping from LEI
       URNs to http(s): URIs?  If so, please give an example,
       	e.g. something like: https://lookup.api.gleif.org/7LTWFZYICNSX8D621K86
    	for the example LEI shown in the answer to Syntax.1

	[GLEIF answer]	
		YES, the GLEIF API is web based. An example to request the reference data for LEI 7LTWFZYICNSX8D621K86 looks like this: 
		https://api.gleif.org/api/v1/lei-records?filter[lei]=7LTWFZYICNSX8D621K86

Do not hesitate to outreach us if more clarifications are needed.
