Motivation edit

This is a unique identifier for oriented forms of mathematical links. This can be used to link Wikidata items to the authoritative Linkinfo database.

Each Wikidata item will correspond to 2 or more oriented forms, but all links will have mutually exclusive sets of chiral forms. Most links will have 2 or 4 oriented forms, with a maximum of 16 forms per link for links with crossing number up to 11. Note that the mapping is one-to-many from links to individual oriented form versions IDs for instantiations of that link, but one-to-one from versions to the original link; no two knots will share a version ID.
