44 The ‘Identifier’ attribute is described at an abstract level in order to be consistent with the abstract nature of the reference
model. Therefore, there are no references to aspects such as identifier uniqueness, representation format or similar.
Implementations based on the DRM will introduce such aspects as needed according to their requirements.
