ods:physicalSpecimenID: question regarding multiple ids #162

Term Name

ods:physicalSpecimenID

Digital Object Name

DigitalSpecimen

Feedback

This element is neither repeatable nor an array. What if a physical specimen has more than one ID, should they be placed under hasIdentifer? Or is this strictly for additional identifiers of the digital specimen. Maybe extend the definition on this regard. This would also be a really good application for a "Usage Notes" field, but since the entire standard doesn't use them, it might not be worth it, to extend it for just this element.

Sorry, I only now realized, this is already covered by #134 .

Hi David, All identifiers will go into the hasIdentifiers property. We go through the document we parse and try to capture any identifiers we encounter and add them to this array. I will have a look at the definition.
