<li>An ID should always be <em>globally</em> unique to allow seamlessly combining data from arbitrary datasets</li> |
|

<li>An ID must be <em>permanent</em>. Domain identifiers are usually permanent, while autogenerated primary keys often aren't.</li> |

<li>The <em>preferred ID</em> is the <em>shortest</em> string which permanently and unambiguously identifies the record</li> |
