Identifiers : Unique, Persistent, Global

Abstract

The human sensory system is a marvelous thing. I can recognize a face (even though I will often forget the name that goes with it). I can tell a rose from an iris by its smell as well as its look. I can name a bird that I cannot see by its distinctive call. I can search the library catalog for the string “moby dick” and wade through a retrieved set of different editions of the book and of films based on the book and can select an individual entry that meets my needs. With our senses and our brain we can identify items in the world around us with an impressive amount of accuracy.
