A character string used to identify a resource.
The Identifier class is a critical aspect of the Business Core Vocabulary. It is also important in many data sets about individuals. In these cases and more, the identifier itself will be some sort of alpha-numeric string but that string only has meaning if it is contextualised. In the case of Legal Entities, the issuing of an identifier is a signal that legal entity status has been conferred on an organisation.
