Abstract
As business processes and information transactions have become an inextricably intertwined with the Web, the importance of assignment, registration, discovery, and
maintenance of identifiers has increased.
In spite of this, integrated frameworks for managing identifiers have been slow to emerge. Instead, identification systems arise (quite naturally) from immediate business needs without consideration for how they fit into larger information architectures.
In addition, many legacy identifier systems further complicate the landscape, making it difficult for content managers to select and deploy identifier systems that meet both the business case and long term information management objectives.
This presentation will outline a model for evaluating identifier applications and the functional requirements of the systems necessary to support them.
The model is based on a layered analysis of the characteristics of identifier systems, including:
Functional characteristics; Technology; Policy;
Business; Social.
These layers afford a useful outline for framing discussions and evaluation of identifier systems.
