Remove PIDINST as the place holder for the identifier type #44

Closed RKrahl closed 3 years ago

RKrahl commented 3 years ago

We created the schema before we discussed options for the actual implementation and thus, back then, it was not yet known what would be the PID provider to use and the identifier type the PID would end up to be. We used PIDINST as a place holder for the identifier type in the schema. Meanwhile, we explored ePIC Handles and DataCite DOIs as implementation options, the latter one using its own variant of the schema.

This PR now drops the PIDINST place holder as it already caused confusion, see #32. It adds a remark that the actual type depends on the PID provider being used and that it would be Handle in the case of ePIC.
