Identifying People and Organizations #29

Open tedhabermann opened 8 years ago

tedhabermann commented 8 years ago

Identifiers spread throughout ISO 19115 and 19115-1 provide important hooks to other systems and supports the general best practice "identify early and identify often". DataCite (https://www.datacite.org) has recently published a metadata recommendation that includes identifiers for people/organizations. This idea is being implemented internationally in systems like ORCID (http://orcid.org) and is clearly important for clear and unambiguous identification of people (and organizations?).

I propose that we add a role identifier 0..* : MD_Identifier to the CI_Party class to accommodate this proposal.

This would be a very useful addition!

smrgeoinfo commented 8 years ago

That makes sense to me, and looks like the right place to insert it. The way things stand currently, you'd have to put an xlink:href with the URI on CI_Party, or do the Anchor substitution for CharacterString on the individual or organization name.

@tedhabermann to be clear you want to add an extension to CI_Party in 19115-2 to provide for this identifier i.e. create a CE_Party adding a new attribute "roleIdentifier"? from looking at the links you provided it seems to be an identifier for an individual or organization or a researcher and their activities. (to distinguish JJCool researching worm castings from JJCool studying solar flares). I think the use of roleIdentifier would confuse people with the role in CI_Responsibility. How about partyIdentifier 0..* :MD_Identifier ?

kateroberts commented 8 years ago

I think this is a great idea, too; And agree with Dave's suggestion to name it something like partyIdentifier 0..* :MD_Identifier, under CI_Responsibility/CI_Party

Dave, et al.,

This is a small change... not sure we need a new class (CE_Party)... Just add a new role to CI_Party... This class is used a lot, changing it could be a problem...
