4.2.4.1.3 - Documentation shall describe any processes used for changes to such identifiers.
Introduction
Scholars Portal has few instances causing the need for a change to an identifier. The examples below are some exceptions.
- In the case of a collision, the URI that was generated will be appended with an underscore (_) and a sequential number beginning with one. This number will increment for each duplicate URI.
- In the case of a replacement article, the new copy of an article will supersede the old and claim the original identifier. The old copy of the article will retain the original identifier with “_old1” added onto the end. If another newer copy replaces the previous one, the previous will retain the identifier with “_old2” added.
Please see document below for further details.
