A general solution to identifier-problems in biological databases is the Life Science Identifier LSIDD).
In addition to identifier validation, the router supports identifier translation.
Here we describe a simple and highly efficient solution to the identifier-collision problem, in which collisions are detected by noting discrepancies in unique identifiers within collision-affected records.
The families and close friends of mentally ill people were considered to be primary detectors and identifiers of problems, and therefore the first step in their relative's pathway to appropriate care.
To handle these problems, we exploit the semantics of object, object identifier, relationship, and attribute (referred to as the ORA-semantics).
To solve the problem, static identifiers are used in many authentication protocols.
While not changing identifiers prevents problems in the short run, it will lead to problems with understandability later on since necessary changes — such as renaming identifiers whose function has changed — are not carried out any longer.
To avoid such problems, we assume that each node v has a unique identifier (without the loss of coherence we denote v's identifier simply as v) and that a total ordering is imposed on these identifiers.
A key aspect of the identifier/locator separation is to design an identifier-to-locator mapping service to map identifiers onto locators.
A solution to the problem is likely to involve the universal assignment of a unique, persistent identifier to each author of scholarly content.
One oughta-be-a-law applies to a problem that touches a nerve in tens of millions of Americans: the abuse of Social Security numbers as identifiers, contrary to the specific intent of the system.
