(Response to Feedback Item 10) EntityID naming #97

Closed judielaine closed 6 years ago

ergood commented 6 years ago

Comment states that current practice is making entityID match metadata URL.

Proposed response:

This is not a current practice or an established best practice. When followed it creates its problems that need to be resolved. In particular, an entityID should be chosen in a manner that minimizes the likelihood of it changing for political or technical reasons; for example a change to a different software implementation or hosting provider.
