<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Can someone help me find an appropriate noun for talking about a machine-generated unique identifier that would name a physical unit, independent of the bibliographic item(s) or
portions of an item it contains? <br>
<br>
I don't want to use "Item ID" because I don't want it to be confused with an Item_ID in our OPAC (see
<i>Folgerpedia</i> under "<a href="https://folgerpedia.folger.edu/Sammelbands#Why_we_can.27t_use_Voyager.27s_.22Bound_With.22_function_for_vault_books" target="_blank">Why we can't use Voyager's 'Bound With' function for vault books</a>" for why a three-title
sammelband [sic] has three item IDs, not one).<br>
<br>
I don't want to use "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_identifier" target="_blank">Object Identifier</a>" or "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_Object_Identifier" target="_blank">Persistent Object Identifier</a>" because I will be
talking with database designers, and I don't want it to be confused with the key column in a relational database.<br>
<br>
I don't want to use "Call number" or "Shelfmark" because those carry meaning, and because our call numbers for boxed manuscripts refer to a single manuscript: a box with 24 indentures would be signed out on 24 call slips if a researcher wanted to see everything
in the box.<br>
<br>
In other words, I need a name for the unique identifier such that if the box of 24 indentures, a sammelband with three titles, and a four-volume scrapbook were all on a shelf, you could point to them and say "those things each have a [Identifier TBA], for a
total of six [Identifier TBA]s. <br>
<br>
If there isn't a suitable generic name for [Identifier TBA], I will need to make one up. Possibilities that come to mind:<o:p></o:p></p>
