I'm not at all sure this belongs in Schema, if not I'm sure I'll hear about it. I see a need for an agreed-upon syntax for stating that an identifier-attribute is unique / specific within a domain larger than the current document. Specifically, I have in mind a database at the serving location. But that is not at all necessary -- it could be a "universally unique identifier." The key point is that the writer and all readers understand the context within which the identifier identifies some 'thing'. RDF calls for a QName with the prefix being tied to the URI identifying the domain of reference. That might be just the thing. Or, perhaps someone has a better thought. -- David A.
