"An IVOA Identifier is a globally unique name for a resource. This is the
name that can be used to retrieve a unique description of the resource
from an IVOA-compliant registry. This document describes the syntax for
IVOA identifiers as well as how they are created. An IVOA identifier has
two separable components which can appear in two equivalent formats: an
XML-tagged form and a URI-compliant form. The syntax has been defined to
encourage global-uniqueness naturally and to maximize the freedom of
resource providers to control the character content of an identifier."
