New scope note:
An object identifier is a code assigned by a person or organisation
to a physical object in order to identify it uniquely within the context of one
or more organizations over a certain
period of time. This class is intended primarily for museum identification
numbers, such as object numbers, inventory numbers, registration numbers or
accession numbers. (Note that the identification
of the acquisition event is sometimes mistaken for the identification of the
acquired objects themselves). An object identifier may be created prior to an
assignment and never be used. It may come out
of use, and, by chance, it may be reused for another object. It is typically an
alphanumeric sequence, often encoding some meaning
like year of acquisition etc.
Examples: MM.GE.195, 13.45.1976, etc.
