Identify unit / object of description

Requirement number MR-1.1
Requirement name Identify unit / object of description
Requirement specification The system must:
  • Uniquely identify each description.
Sub-requirements
  • 1.1.1 Identify unit / object of description.
  • 1.1.2 Name unit / object of description.
  • 1.1.3 Identify the level of description.
  • 1.1.4 Indicate the dates of the material described.
  • 1.1.5 Indicate the extent of the material described.

---

Identify unit / object of description

Requirement number MR-1.1.1
Requirement name Identify unit / object of description
Requirement specification The system must:
  • Assign one or more unique identifier (codes) to each description such that the description can be linked to the object of description.
Requirement quotation
Associated functional requirements
  • FR-3.B, Assign unique identifiers to descriptions.
Associated quality requirements
  • Auto-enter values.
Associated technical requirements
ICA-AtoM fields
  • information_object::id
  • information_object:identifier
ICA-AtoM implementation
  • ICA-AtoM automatically assigns each record a unqiue database ID (id); this value is invisible to users.
  • Users enter their own Reference code (identifier). ICA-AtoM allows any type of value in this field (numbers, text, alpha-numeric code) to accommodate any institutional system for assigning identifiers.
Known issues
  • Cannot currently auto-generate next sequential reference code / number.
