Publication properties - identifiers #72

What is objectIdentifier + publicationRelatedIdentifier? Is this the link to an external version? If not, we need a link to the external version. Links: We need to be able to link to more things, e.g. other publications, reports, blog posts, webpages etc.

The definition of the abstract class publication is dealt with currently by the publicationResourceType - this means that any linked entity can be further defined by type, realising all the types mentioned above.

Worth mentioning that the formal UML notation for abstract classes require dependencies to be set for each type. This process is thorough but will make the model incredibly complex. The team is aware of this issue and it is being discussed.
