**Usage Notes** | This field allows third parties to maintain a consistent record for datasets even if title or URLs are updated. Agencies may integrate an existing system for maintaining unique identifiers. Each identifier **must** be unique across the agency's catalog and remain fixed. Characters should be alphanumeric. It is **highly recommended** that a [URI (preferably an HTTP URL)](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-1.1.3) be used to provide a globally unique identifier. Identifier URLs should be designed and maintained to persist indefinitely regardless of whether the URL of the resource itself changes.
