Create Unique Identifiers page #66

As far as I can see there isn't a page about Unique Identifiers (Data Management).

They are mentioned here: https://dissco.github.io/DataManagement/IdentifierRecs.html and @joaquimsantos1978 is drafting a standards & identifiers page here (would be great to get your comments on this draft)

We need to think about how to present this on the site: should we separate out the standards & identifiers draft into two pages (e.g. one about standards, and another about identifiers, which combines the identifier recommendations and the information contained in the draft?). And do you think there is anything still missing?

Thanks. LL and I looked at that page (https://dissco.github.io/DataManagement/IdentifierRecs.html):

the QR/matrix codes section seems to address the concept of unique identifiers but refers to them as Persistent Identifiers (as does the page heading - so this might need to make this more general); however, unique identifiers and persistent identifiers are two different things.
I think this page will need to be updated and tied in with Joaquim’s standards and identifiers page (currently being created - happy to comment on draft).

@llivermore – any thoughts on i) Lisa’s questions above and ii0 updates about unique identifiers to the page: https://dissco.github.io/DataManagement/IdentifierRecs.html

Sorry for my late reply. I think we can separate the Identifiers and the Standards into two different sections. Once the revisions on the draft are finished, it should be merged with the existing Identifier's section. As you can see, the current page focuses on how to uniquely identify the specimens, while the draft mentions external services to identify entities related to the specimens, so they both complement each other. @Allan-Louise please do comment on the draft document!
