That means we need to keep the base identifier string along with something that, well, identifies the identifier. I know that BIBO has BIBO:ISBN, etc., but it's just not going to work to create a separate property for each one of these, the number of them is too large. Yes, this is always cropping up. Can you expand on 'too large'? You can fit breathtaking amounts of data on a USB stick - or Web site - these days. What kind of size are we looking at? Is the problem admin/social (eg. Decentralization expected) or technical or a mix? Dan > Has anyone developed and published a good "legacy identifier graph" that we could adopt?
