  • PID: Persistent identifier that is not in the form of a URI
  • OCLC Source: OCLC number referring to a catalog entry describing the original work, e.g. the physical original of a digitized work
  • OCLC Surrogate: OCLC number referring to the catalog entry describing a digital copy of a work (if such a catalog entry exists)
  • Local: Any identifier string for local use, e.g. call number, file names or tape vault numbers.

Follow your unit/collection guidelines per Supervisor/Collection Owner for local identifiers.
