40 The ‘Identifier’ attribute is described at an abstract level in order to be consistent with the abstract nature of the reference<br />
model. Therefore, there are no references to aspects such as identifier uniqueness, representation format or similar.<br />
Implementations based on the DRM will introduce such aspects as needed according to their requirements.<br />
41 As shown in the abstract model, a Digital Data Resource may be one of these three specific types of data resources. The same<br />
general idea applies to the entries for the ‘Semi-Structured Data Resource’ and ‘Data Object’ concepts above.
