Class: 'Federated Identifier'

comment "In CERIF, the cfFederatedIdentifier entity is an hybrid entity in the sense that it connects the internal world with an outside world, of which we do not know what can be assumed to be known. For consistency, this entity has ist own cfFederatedIdentifier identifier - namely in short cfFedIdId as an ID and primary key (PK). Finally, the entity has the cfInstanceIdentifier as a character, identifying the record for which this federate identifier is required - in short cfFedInstId. These two just introduced identifiers, in sort cfFedIdId, and cfFedIdInstId represent the internal world of the system. However, following the CERIF link entity style, the linked entity identifier is also required; pointing to the outside world, namely this is the cfFedId or cfFederatedIdentifier as such. It can possibly have a role that is applicable with Relation. We assume that currrently the only role appied is "same as", where for future applications it may be useful to have the usual cfClassId/cfClassSchemeId reference optionally available (e.g. for possible constraints such as - the fed-id-link is valid only for a person in the role of an author). However, especially with the CERIF XML, we currently recommend to omit it, because the cfFedId entity is embeded in the base entity and thus, the same-as attribute is implictly known from the structure of the XML record (see examples and specification documents). This term belongs to the 'CERIF Entities' classification scheme." ()
