We may need to change the syntax for electronic resource items generated from 856 fields.

Creating an item id based on the bib id might result in an item identifier collision or might be confusing to staff who may think it is a valid sierra id.

The "-e" suffix should ensure no collision, but it is ugly so I'm open to suggestions. Would you prefer we generate an id like http://dev-discovery.nypl.org/item/b19859287-1234
? My thinking was that i[bnum]-e
was guaranteed unique and reflective of what it is: an e- item generated from a bib. But it can be anything as long as it's unique.
Yes, it will definitely not conflict with other identifiers, so it'll work for now. What if we revisit it when we reconsider URL syntax for non-catalog entities--maybe shoot to have something in place for June beta?
I'm going to change this ticket to reflect the task of completing and documenting URL syntax for non-catalog entities, so we can keep this URL conversation in one place.

We need to complete and document URL syntax for discovery URLs and add to Google Site.
