Identifier Governance

Govern namespace uniqueness, persistence, collision detection, supersession and the rule that identifiers are never silently reused.

SCOPE

What the module does—and what it deliberately does not do.

A clear negative boundary is part of the product definition.

DOES
  • Namespace policy, persistence, collision control, key reuse constraints and supersession records.
  • Publishes explicit domain objects and version-aware interfaces/events.
  • Links business outcomes to evidence and architecture references.
DOES NOT
  • Does not replace external legal/identifier authorities.
  • Does not imply universal certification or conformity.
  • Does not make optional assurance mechanisms mandatory for all products.
OPERATING MODEL

Actors, inputs, outputs and authority remain explicit.

The module is not treated as a black box; its authority and evidence responsibilities are visible.

Actors

Platform Operator · Identifier governance owner · External identifier authority · Developer

Inputs

Identity/context, versioned business data, policy inputs and external-source references as applicable.

Outputs

Versioned decision/data/evidence artifacts with correlation and provenance.

Authority boundary

Qualified by data domain; external authority is not absorbed through integration.

BUSINESS OBJECTS

Semantic objects connect UI, API, repository and evidence.

The semantic registry prevents architecture vocabulary from drifting between portals and integration contracts.

POLICY & EVIDENCE

Material actions are policy-versioned and evidence-linked.

Where the module changes a material state, the transition grammar applies.

INTERFACES & EVENTS

Reference contracts are versioned and publication-gated.

The public API package is a reference contract; actual deployment availability must be confirmed by release/environment.

Publish support only for the exact version/profile/environment that has supporting evidence.

STANDARDS & LIMITATIONS

Mapping is not certification.

Standards are shown with status and implementation wording so reference mapping is not mistaken for assessed conformity.
