_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.
