The key ref:idescat=* is the official identifier for a Catalonian territorial unit, from IDESCAT, P4335.

The reference is made up of 13 digits, where the first two digits are the province code, the following three are the sequential number of the municipality within the province, then a control digit (these six first digits make up the code). After that, two digits for the collective entity, plus two digits for the singular entity, another control digit, and finally, two digits for the nucleus or scattering place.
