In case it could turn to be useful, identifiers for agents are supported in the DCAT-AP profile used in the JRC Data Catalogue (https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) for multidisciplinary research data. BTW, the JRC profile of DCAT-AP uses for this purpose both dct:identifier
and adms:identifier
.
A discussion on the underlying requirements:
https://ec-jrc.github.io/dcat-ap-jrc/#req-identifiers
Identifiers for agents (organisations and individuals):
dct:identifier
:
adms:identifier
:
There are also a couple of examples showing how they are used:
what is the rationale for this request? In reference provided by @andrea-perego https://ec-jrc.github.io/dcat-ap-jrc/#req-identifiers you find a nice overview on the rationale applied by JRC. Covers that your request? As a good guideline or best practice explanation.
In addition I point you to an recommendation on joinup: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/release/dcat-ap-how-use-identifiers-datasets-and-distributions
In order to make it recommended we should have the usecase clear. For me, identifiers are crucial to facilitate the data exchange, but I am not sure that recommendation of a property yields the desired result. Maybe a good best-practice document extending the joinup note and the JRC insights have more impact.
Sorry for my late response, @bertvannuffelen, and sorry that I didn't provide any rationale when I wrote this proposal.
Yes, the reference provided by @andrea-perego very well covers my request. Thanks, @andrea-perego!

This topic is also related with #187
In short, a proposal on this should decisions on the following:
decision from wg of 21 oct 2021: postpone the resolution of this issue to have a broader discussion on identifiers.
We propose to close this issue as in release 3.0.0 in section on Identifiers a reference is made to the outcome of a community discussion on identifiers.
In case new use-cases or expectations or harmonisation proposals are needed we propose to open a new issue and start the discussion from that section.
dct:identifier (range rdfs:Literal) preferably as "recommended" (0..1)
