Administered Item identifier

Understanding identifiers

The add-on automatically computes a unique identifier for every Administered Item. This identifier is based on a numeric value, incremented by one.

From a technical point of view, an Administered Item's primary key is a composite data structure that includes an object identifier (auto-incremented by one) and the unique identifier of the current EBX® repository. This means that you can export and import Administered Items from one repository to another without risk of conflict between the primary key values.

Special notation:

The ISO-IEC 11179 standard describes a composite data structure for the Administered Item identifier that refers to additional information such as the identification of the registry authority and a version identifier. This data will be added in a future version of the add-on.

Version management of the Administered Items is already performed by use of data spaces in EBX® (refer to the EBX® documentation). This allows you to create branches of repository versions. You can then compare versions and manage version merging over time.
