OpenCommunity discovery work recommended adding a a new data structure for identifiers such as
- Companies House reference
- Charity Number
This approach is good for finding duplicates across multiple ‘data custodians’.
iStandUK says that this is similar to the structure originally proposed by LGA in version 1 of their Locally Delivered Services schema (teh CSV schema). This approach allows for codes to be used that are not URIs. The LGA / Open Referral UK spec should move to this.
We've not changed the initial Open Referral UK spec to add this as it came up late in 2019/20 work, but I think it should be a high priority for the next version.
There are no backwards compatibility issues.
