The application must be able to:
*Assign one or more unique identifiers (codes) to descriptions.
*Include in the identifier components that represent the institution that is responsible for the description and its country of origin.

The application should be able to:

*Keep database IDs (automatically generated by the application and hidden from user) separate from reference codes (assigned by the archivist and meaningful to users).

*Support auto-entry of next available reference code upon record creation.

*Automatically concantenate a repository's institution and country identifiers with the description reference code to ensure unique identifiers in a multi-repository system (user should not have to manually enter institution and country codes).
