The canonical URN is the default structure for the DDI URN. It is composed of the following portions separated by a colon: urn:ddi:AgencyID:ObjectID:Version. Note that the self identifying portion (urn:ddi) of the canonical URN may be upper or lower case. The Version is always the version number of the object itself. If the object is scoped to the Agency, the objectID is the ID. [Example: urn:ddi:us.mpc:194R671:1] If it is scoped to the Maintainable and is a Maintainable Object, the objectID is the ID. [Example: urn:ddi:us.mpc:IPUMS_CL_EDU:1] If it is scoped to the Maintainable and is either a Versionable or Identifiable Object, the objectID consists of the ID of the parent Maintainable followed by a dot "." used as a separator followed by the ID of the object itself.

The deprecated URN is an alternative structure for the DDI URN which contains additional information regarding the object types. It is composed of the following portions separated by a colon: urn:ddi:AgencyID:MaintainableObjectType:MaintainableObjectID:ObjectType:ObjectID:Version. Note that the self identifying portion (urn:ddi) of the deprecated URN may be upper or lower case. The Version is always the version number of the object itself. The MaintainableObjectType and ObjectType should be taken from the TypeOfObject list which provides a consistent ObjectType name over time. If the deprecated URN structure is the same where the object is scoped to the Agency or to the Maintainable. If the object is a Maintainable Object, only the Maintainable Object information is included. [Example: urn:ddi:us.mpc:CodeList:IPUMS_CL_EDU:1] If it is either a Versionable or Identifiable Object, the ObjectType and ObjectID of the parent Maintainable is provided followed by the ObjectType and ObjectID of the object itself.

The DDI URN is comprised of the self identifying "urn" or "URN" and "ddi" or "DDI" followed by an agency, identifier, and version number. Note that the identifier is composed in different ways for the Canonical and Deprecated URN (all other portions are the same). The identifier in the Canonical URN is composed of the unique identifier which may be scoped to the agency or the maintainable object (urn:ddi:DDIAgencyID:BaseID:Version). In the case of being scoped to the maintainable, the identification is the ID of the Maintainable parent, followed by a dot '.', followed by the ID of the object. The identifier in the Deprecated URN is composed of the following parts separated by ':' a colon: The object type of the Maintainable Object, the ID of the Maintainable Object, and if the object is Versionable or Identifable this is followed by the Object Type and the Object ID.

Elements of this type cannot be versioned or maintained except as part of a complex parent element. Provides containers for Uniform Resource Name (URN) as well as ID information. An entity can either be identified either by a URN and/or an identification sequence. At a minimum, one or the other is required. You must designate they type of URN supported by your agency, either "Canonical" or "Deprecated". To fully support interoperability both the DDI URN and identification sequence should be used. Note that to support interoperability of the canonical and deprecated URN. If both URN and the identification sequence is used, and there is any conflict, the URN takes precedence. The action attribute is used ONLY for inheritance is a Group structure. For the local use the maintainable you can "Add", "Delete", or "Replace" an identified object.

The attribute "action" is used for inheritance situations where there is an override at the local level (within a grouped StudyUnit) which is not available for further inheritance. There are three possible values for "action": Add - A new identifiable object (an Identifiable, Versionable, or Maintainable element) is provided locally with a new identifier (one that is not inherited). All properties (elements and attributes contained in the object) of the object are as specified. If an object with an existing id is created, this is an error.; Update - An object is provided locally with the SAME id as the inherited object. For each type of property that is specified locally, a full set of those properties is specified for local use. These properties replace any properties of this type which were inherited. Unspecified properties are used as inherited.; Delete - An object is provided locally with the SAME id as the inherited object. All properties specified locally in this object will be deleted if their types and values match those inherited. Note that to completely delete an object at the local level, all properties of the inherited object must be listed.

If the object created was based on an exisiting object (other than by versioning), the object on which it is based can be identified using BasedOnReference. In addition to UserID, versionable and maintainable objects may also designate additional user specific properties expressed as a key/value pair using UserAttributePair. Maintainable objects may also contain any notes related to the objects they contain, identification of the software used to create and/or manage the metadata, a statement of the metadata quality, and a default URI value to use for external external references. The attribute xml:lang can be used to provide specification of the default language of the metadata contents. When the isPublished attribute is set to "true" it indicates to the user that they may safely reference the contents as they will continue to be accessible and any changes in the non-administrative content will be tracked by a versioning mechanism.
