Well, but our current definition states for **Identifier**: Unique string that identifies the instrument instance and for **LandingPage**: 'A landing page that the identifier resolves to' so in practise Identifier...

Dear Markus, maybe we should wait for more community input here. I still think serial numbers need some special consideration also with respect to future links to the engineering community....

Dear colleagues, this actually I very thoughtful and timely discussion that you have here! I agree with most statements that had been made but one aspect that I would like...

I do not agree to close this issue. I continue to see a specificity in the relationships between a physical object (via serial number, inventory number), and its digital representation....
