63. Global ID and Persistent Identifier
Stable section ID: S05-CON-015-SECTION-64 · 12 content blocks
A Global ID is a globally unique identifier assigned to a System05 Engineering Entity to prevent identity collision across manufacturers, regions, projects, organizations, and technological platforms.
A Persistent Identifier is an identifier intended to remain stable and resolvable for the complete controlled life of the entity or concept it represents.
A Global ID may function as a Persistent Identifier, but the concepts are distinct: global uniqueness concerns identification across the ecosystem, while persistence concerns continuity through time.
Identifiers shall:
be unique within their declared scope;
not be reassigned to unrelated entities;
remain independent of mutable descriptive information;
support validation and error detection where appropriate;
preserve relationships to superseded, replaced, merged, or retired entities;
remain usable without dependence on one proprietary provider.
A Global ID identifies an entity but does not independently establish authenticity, ownership, certification, compatibility, or conformance.
Physical representations may include engraved codes, QR codes, RFID, NFC, embedded electronics, or future technologies. Loss of the physical representation shall not erase the constitutional identity.
