Due to concerns about Whitman's non namespaced IDs potentially overwriting documents from other projects (https://github.com/whitmanarchive/whitman-issues/issues/27), @karindalziel has suggested that the data repository automatically add a project name (whitman, codyarchive, etc) to the front of IDs. The API would need to be aware of this and add them to requests / strip them from results so that orchid sites maintained the given IDs. Filenames shared across projects should not conflict because of how the data repositories and mediaserver have been set up, so the main concern would be two projects with the same filename pushing to the same elasticsearch index....which would favor whichever was most recently updated, and functionally erase the previous.

This is not a "definitely implement" type of feature yet, but something that bears more thought and discussion.
