#A.07.IR05.IR06.ds.identification

Purpose: Unique resource identifier. If the type of the resource was dataset or series, a unique identifier identifying the resource must be given.

Prerequisites

• A.01.validate must be passed

Test method

The test first checks if a unique identifier is given and if it is of type MD_Identifier or RS_Identifier. The contained code element may not be empty.

• In case of RS_identifier, the codespace element should not be empty.
• In case of MD_identifier, discussion is ongoing on how to match this element against a namespace-identifier in a capabilities document/service metadata.

If the type of the resource is not dataset or series, this test is omitted.
