An ExternalIdentifer
is a value assigned by an
external authority that can be associated with a
RegistryObject
. An example of
ExternalIdentifier
s that is widely recognized is a
Dun and Bradstreet number (D-U-N-S), which a business can obtain
following a process of registration. The value of the identifier can
be obtained from the getValue( )
method, but its
meaning can be interpreted only in relation to the scheme under which
the value is classified, which can be obtained using the
getClassificationScheme( )
method. A
RegistryObject
can have any number of
ExternalIdentifiers
, which are created using the
BusinessLifeCycleManager
createExternalIdentifier( )
method and added by
calling addExternalIdentifier( )
.
