[Metadatalibrarians] Metadatalibrarians Digest, Vol 58, Issue 2

[Diane I. Hillmann]

Regina:

A citation for a resource, particularly in a standard form, is indeed an 
identifier for the resource.  It's not necessarily that each part of the 
citation itself is a stand-in for an identifier, but the citation as a 
whole definitely is.  So it's not that you're "putting too much in the 
identifier field" in the sense that I think you're focussed on. 

The discussions within DC about how to include standard citations took 
quite a bit of time and pretty much every alternative was explored.  It 
came down to looking at what people wanted the citation to do in the 
context of a resource description.  I personally think that we got it 
right in this case.
