IVOA Recommendation

"IVOA Identifiers" v2.0 (MarkusDemleitner, Editor)

Development of this standard is tracked via the IVOA Documents landing page.

Discussion

Do we need this standard?

Any resource requires a standard subset of metadata to specify its identity, presumably an xml document fragment, eg:

<resourceIdentifier>
   <name>...</name>
   <resourceType>...</resourceType>
   <location>
      <url>...</url>
      ...
   </location>
</resourceIdentifier>

Should the identifier for a resource simply be a URI with the other stuff above being part of the ResourceMetadata? -- TonyLinde - 27 Jan 2003
