how to deal with multiple identifiers for a sample

Closed this issue · 1 comments

currently we only have sampleIdentifier as a string. We don't have any property in the metadata to link to alternate identifiers for sample.

Options:

  • alternateIdentifier field
  • multiple values for sampleIdentifier, with a schemeName or some other property to scope the authority or context for that identifier
  • have a separate identifeir map resource that correlates related identifeirs.

resolved with #143
