Abstract
Among other disclosure: a computer-implemented method of configuring a system for an identification scheme; a computer-implemented method of communicating an identifier; a computer-implemented method of processing a received identifier; and corresponding computer program products.
Claims28
A computer-implemented method of configuring a system for an identification scheme, the method comprising:
- identifying an identification scheme that is to be used for generating at least one identifier for an object;
- creating a scheme entity that represents the identification scheme and includes at least one aspect thereof;
- and
- storing the created scheme entity in a repository such that the scheme entity can be selected for association with the identifier.
A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable medium and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method of configuring a system for an identification scheme, the method comprising:
- identifying an identification scheme that is to be used for generating at least one identifier for an object;
- creating a scheme entity that represents the identification scheme and includes at least one aspect thereof;
- and
- storing the created scheme entity in a repository such that the scheme entity can be selected for association with the identifier
A computer-implemented method of communicating an identifier, the method comprising:
- identifying an identifier for an object;
- obtaining a scheme entity identifier from a schema to be used for an electronic communication, the scheme entity identifier being associated with a scheme entity that represents an identification scheme for generating the identifier;
- and
- forwarding the electronic communication, including the identified identifier and the obtained scheme entity identifier.
A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable medium and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method of communicating an identifier, the method comprising:
- identifying an identifier for an object;
- obtaining a scheme entity identifier from a schema to be used for an electronic communication, the scheme entity identifier being associated with a scheme entity that represents an identification scheme for generating the identifier;
- and
- forwarding the electronic communication, including the identified identifier and the obtained scheme entity identifier.
A computer-implemented method of processing a received identifier, the method comprising:
- receiving an electronic communication that includes an identifier indicated by an identifier element;
- obtaining, from a schema applicable to the electronic communication, a scheme entity that represents an identification scheme for the identifier and includes at least one aspect of the identification scheme;
- and
- using the scheme entity in processing the identifier.
A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable medium and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method of processing a received identifier, the method comprising:
- receiving an electronic communication that includes an identifier indicated by an identifier element;
- obtaining, from a schema applicable to the electronic communication, a scheme entity that represents an identification scheme for the identifier and includes at least one aspect of the identification scheme;
- and
- using the scheme entity in processing the identifier.
