Thread on different kinds of identifiers to include #8

Closed shuyag closed 3 weeks ago

shuyag commented 1 month ago

An interesting case that might warrant needing to add a country field into the organization schema, in the case of a tax ID being used for the organization-id, which would help to specify which one it's referencing.

Using the SCDEX to show associations (for example, a merge between two organization) might be an interesting outcome of being allowed to append multiple org-ids. We should probably follow a principle of being more "generous" with the kinds of IDs that are referenced and allowed, because then this works as a way to cross reference different IDs referencing the same organization.

For example, Brazil uses tax ids on most official documents to reference an organization, whereas in China, the Chinese Corporate Social Credit Number is used across most documents.

I agree with being more generous with the identifiers. I would prefer a facility or organization to have any identifier rather than none at all.
