External Identifiers¶
- PackageExternalIdentifierTypes
- Using unique ID - how do we handle the case when promoted to a listed ID
- If 2 people specify two different unique URI's, how do we reconciled
- We could include a list of other ID's in the table
- Table headers were updated with new terms (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j6LWnkh5GbMV9Xo5_zJ0wTNLROEIa4o1OU279YueI90)
- Default Repository Location
- Need to define the semantics that if no repository location is specified, the default is used
- External Reference Identifier Example
- Could be used as a pointer to define the schema
- Could be from the repo where the actual metadata on the packages is stored
- Proposal with the type being a URI is a concern
- Concern on having any proposal with Other - may need more data
- Agree that we will table the Other proposals and bring it back up after the rest of the External identifiers are nailed
