<h2>Dereferenceable identifiers</h2>

<p>DCAT should rely on persistent HTTP URIs, which are an effective way of making identifiers actionable.</p>
<p>The scientific and data provider communities use a number of different identifiers for publications, authors and data.</p>
<p>DCAT primarily relies on persistent HTTP URIs as an effective way of making identifiers actionable. Notably, quite a few identifier schemes can be encoded as dereferenceable HTTP URIs, and some of them are also returning machine-readable metadata (e.g., DOIs, ORCIDs). Regardless, data providers still might need to refer to legacy identifiers, non-HTTP dereferenceable identifiers, locally minted or third-party-provided identifiers. In these cases, [[DC11]] and [[VOCAB-ADMS]] can be of use.</p>
<p>The property <a href="#Property:resource_identifier"><code>dct:identifier</code></a> explicitly indicates HTTP URIs as well as legacy identifiers. In the following examples, <a href="#Property:resource_identifier"><code>dct:identifier</code></a> identifies a dataset, but it can similarly be used with any kind of resources.</p>
