Identifiers

Consider the following rules:

The following table describes the content of each field type:

Field Name	Content
MODEL_NAME	Host Encyclopedia name of the model
RECORD_TYPE	O (Object Record)
OBJECT_TYPE	IDENTIFIER
OBJECT_NAME	Ident ID1
REF_OBJ_1	Name of entity for which this is an identifier
REF_OBJ_2	Name of attribute 1 (optional)
REF_OBJ_3	Name of attribute 2 (optional)
NUM_PROP_1	Unused
NUM_PROP_2	Unused
NUM_PROP_3	Unused
NUM_PROP_4	Unused
NUM_PROP_5	Unused
NUM_PROP_6	Unused
NUM_PROP_7	Unused
NUM_PROP_8	Unused
CHAR_PROP_1	If Relationship 1 (NAME_1) is used for a recursive relationship, which relationship membership should be used: F (Forward) B (Backward)
CHAR_PROP_2	If Relationship 2 (NAME_2) is used for a recursive relationship, which relationship membership should be used: F (Forward) B (Backward)
CHAR_PROP_3	Is this the primary identifier for the entity? Y (Yes) N (No)
CHAR_PROP_4	Unused
CHAR_PROP_5	Unused
CHAR_PROP_6	Unused
CHAR_PROP_7	Unused
CHAR_PROP_8	Unused
NAME_1	Unique ID of relationship 1 (optional)
NAME_2	Unique ID of relationship 2 (optional)

Specify an Ident ID if:

You cannot fully specify the IDENT in a single record (that is, if more than two attributes or two relationships are involved). When this occurs, specify the remainder of the identifier in consecutive IDENT records that have the same IDENT ID.
The identifier is implemented by an entry point (the IDENT ID would match REF_OBJ_3 of the ENTRY_POINT record).
The identifier is targeted by a linkage (the IDENT ID would match REF_OBJ_3 of the LINKAGE record).
