The identifier of the related object

Usage

Required for each populated row

Format

This is the only identifier that appears in the summary grid and must be populated manually for each row.

The museum recommends using a persistent URI to represent the related object. We adopt that standard for objects not held by the department but for Mineral Sciences specimens use the catalog number to make the grid more usable.
