From Xcri

Jump to: navigation, search

This property is defined in [EN 15982].

[edit] Example

 <identifier>http://www.bolton.ac.uk</identifier>
 <identifier xsi:type="ukrlp:ukprn">23424341414</identifier>

[edit] Guidance Notes

It is recommended that identifiers likely to be used by aggregators should be URLs that resolve to human-readable content.

  1. Default identifier: Structures MUST NOT contain more than one identifier without an explicitly-defined encoding scheme, and this MUST be A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) conforming to the URL scheme as specified by IETF RFC 3986.
  2. Third-party identifiers: Use identifier with an encoding scheme to represent third-party indentifiers; use dc:subject to represent third-party codes that refer to multiple objects (e.g. subject classification codes, provider type codes)

[edit] Usage

Identifier is used in provider, course and presentation and other objects that require identifiers such as qualification, entryProfile, entryRequirements and venue.

For qualification_1.2: It is possible that Awarding Bodies will have permanent URLs for the qualifications they award; these would be preferable identifiers, but it is accepted that they may be difficult to collect, so internal identifiers are a practical alternative.
