Identifier schema

Property	Value
A technical identifier, unique in a certain context. Technical key	IDENTIFIER_SCHEMA
The human-friendly name shown for this concept in the user interface, used instead of the technical name to improve readability and understanding. Display name	Identifier schema
Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. Description	This category encompasses data quality rules that verify business identifiers are formatted according to their official reference schemas, including proper use of separators, spaces, and presentation conventions. Unlike basic format validation that checks syntax on cleaned identifiers, schema validation examines the complete formatted representation. For example, a Swiss UID must be formatted as 'CHE-123.456.789' with specific placement of hyphens and dots, not just as '123456789'. Different countries and identifier types have specific schema requirements for how identifiers should be presented in official documents and systems. Schema validation ensures identifiers match these official presentation standards, which is important for document generation, official reporting, and system integration with external authorities. These rules support the Representational_consistency dimension by ensuring identifiers adhere to official formatting schemas.
