The model is fine, just not the identity of the Identifier resource(s). That can't be the same as the identifier itself, otherwise you get the collision demonstrated. In RDF, I don't think you can give provenance information about the creation of the URI without a blank node or other indirection, as the URI doesn't identify itself, it identifies the resource. The first rule of Identifier Club is that you can't talk about Identifier Club :) On Fri, Jul 11, 2014 at 2:36 PM, Ford, Kevin <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > To try this from a different angle… > > > > Let’s say one wanted to capture information about an identifier itself. > Not the thing the identifier identifies, but the identifier itself. > > > > So, for example, ISSNs are issued by specific agencies.
