PILIN Identifier Infrastructure SUM

The PILIN identifier SUM describes the range of possible services available from a generic identifier management system. The SUM is written at the service genre level, describing abstract capabilities not tied to a particular identifier technology, interface, protocol, or scheme.

Since identifiers are pervasive in data processing, it is expected that this service usage model will be used to

• inform development of systems and other SUMS that use identifiers

• inform development of concrete service expression level SUMs for specific identifier management systems

For example, the PILIN project uses this service usage model as a basis for its development of an identifier management system based on the Handle System.
