_audit_dataset.id

Name:
_audit_dataset.id

Definition:

   
    Globally unique identifier for data blocks that are meant to be interpreted
    together as a whole.

    Data blocks which belong together, for instance, as they form part of the
    same experiment, are given an identical _audit_dataset.id value.

    Data blocks, such as calibration information, can be designated with more
    than one _audit_dataset.id value.

    Data blocks which do not contain an _audit_dataset.id may still be related,
    depending on the presence of other data names and values. Data blocks which
    contain different _audit_dataset.id values are not related in a CIF sense,
    even if other data names and values are common.

    To ensure global uniqueness, a UUID-like identifier (Davis et al., 2024)
    is suggested.
