do we need both uuid and dc_identifier_s fields?

These seem redundant to me, unless I'm missing something?

I agree that these seem redundant. Mainly because I can't think of a scenario where we would want these two values to be different.

dc_identifer_s is often the same as uuid but may be an alternate identifier. perhaps we don't need this flexibility since we already have layer_id_s and layer_slug_s which are alternate identifiers. in that case, i'd vote for dropping uuid in favor or dc_identifier_s to remain consistent with dublin core.

I second that vote!

Shouldn't be too big a deal for GeoBlacklight https://github.com/geoblacklight/geoblacklight/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=uuid
