identifiers

[bertvannuffelen]

This is an broad issue to capture questions and opinions on identifiers. During the webinar of 10 march 2022 the WG discussed on the role of dct:identifier and adms:identifier in identifying datasets throughout harvesting of catalogues.

To streamline the discussion, the WG agreed with the view that dct:identifier is the identifier assigned by the "owner/first publisher" of the dataset. This removes an ambiguity in the definition of dct:identifier which could be also interpreted as the identifier assigned by the catalogue it is currently part of.

This issue is to collect the community feedback on this topic. We will also provide a coherent proposal based on the WG discussion that has taken place.
