External Identifiers

• Continuing the discussion - reviewing document at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j6LWnkh5GbMV9Xo5_zJ0wTNLROEIa4o1OU279YueI90
• Reviewed proposal for 3.20.5 and 3.20.6 with Kate
  • Discussed single line with parsed fields vs. multiple fields
  • If multiple fields, it should be broken into multiple subsections
  • If single line, we could have the repository location at the end then we only need to worry about allowing spaces in the ID itself
    • We could not come up with any examples of ID's with spaces, but we were all nervous that such a schema for ID naming could exist
  • Discussed multiple fields
    • Order of the section - should type come first or should ID?
    • Now that they are multiple fields, what should the cardinality be (e.g. multiple ID's under the same type)?
  • Kate will think about the proposed changes and we will discuss next week
