PDME13 — IdentificationContext Conventions

The Identifiable and IdentificationContext interfaces provide a flexible way for PDM Enablers implementations to support multiple identifiers for items. An IdentificationContext can be found by giving the name of the IdentificationContext. The specification should give better guidance for how these names should be formed and what their values should be. The convention should take into account the type of the item that is identified by the IdentificationContext as well as an identifier for the unique context. For implementations or sites that support only a single IdentificationContext per item type, the name of the single IdentificationContext should be specified by the PDM Enablers specification. It is suggested that a single Identification Context name be equal to the name of the item identified by the IdentificationContext.
