Interface Identifier

All Known Implementing Classes:

Identifier_Impl

public interface Identifier

A Map Server may use zero or more Identifier elements to list ID numbers or labels defined by a particular Authority. For example, the Global Change Master Directory (gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov) defines a DIF_ID label for every dataset. The authority name and explanatory URL are defined in a separate AuthorityURL element, which may be defined once and inherited by subsidiary layers. Identifiers themselves are not inherited.
