Is there a long term plan for merging identifiers? E.g. suppose I cite something by a DOI, and we (perhaps later) learn that that article has also been mentioned on #spnetwork via an arXiv identifier. What's the process?
@semorrison I wrote about how to handle merging of IDs from different domains (e.g. arXiv vs. DOI) here: https://github.com/cjlee112/spnet/wiki/Simple-Feature-Tutorial#deeper-data-model-considerations
The bottom line is it's straightforward to do, and we should do it. Since we're in "team building mode", people told me I should write tutorials showing how to do things like this, rather than just silently doing it... One way or the other, we should implement this soon.
a related duplication issue: math.HO/9404236, see test_incoming.test_arxiv_versions2()
First noted for 1108.1172 due to indexing a post that included both versioned and unversioned forms of this arXiv ID.
Implemented a test for this bug as test_incoming.test_arxiv_versions().
