Does anyone have information on the lifecycle of an Edubase ID? If a school changes name, does the ID change? What about if it changes status and becomes an academy? If a school splits, do both halves get a new ID or does one half carry on with the old one?
(GSS identifiers used to identify geographic areas such as local government districts are immutable: if any boundary changes take place, a new ID is issued for the modifed boundary. I.e. they are not as stable as you might think...) --colin On 2016-01-08 14:27, SK53 wrote: > On 8 January 2016 at 12:22, Stuart Reynolds > <stu...@travelinesoutheast.org.uk> wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> I have some questions about naming, and also the content of Edubase. >> ... >> >> If someone could also suggest how to tag one school split across two sites, >> I would be very happy! >> >> Many thanks >> Regards, >> Stuart > > I'd also be interested in the one school / multiple sites issue. > > These are becoming commoner as one school takes over another.
