Namespaces and identifiers can only be created and edited by an Administrator of a Stewardship Organization.
What is a namespace?
A namespace is the scope of an identifier. In the case that two people or Stewardship Organizations use the same identifier, they can be differentiated using their namespaces.
Select 'Browse' from the registry header.
Select 'Stewardship Organisations'.
Select the Stewardship Organisation to which you'd like to add a new namespace.
3. Select 'Create Namespace'.
4. Fill in the form. The Stewardship Organization will be pre-selected for you, add in a Name for the Namespace and then a definition.
Go to the Stewardship Organization homepage.
3. Click on the name to select the Namespace you would like to edit.
4. You will be taken to that Namespaces page.
5. To edit the Namespace, in 'Actions' select 'Open item editor'.
6. Here you can edit the Namespace. Once you're done editing, don't forget to Save Changes.
Go to the item page of the item you would like to add a Namespace/identifier to.
2. In the Actions bar select 'Open item editor'.
3. From here, select the 'Identifiers' tab.
4. Select 'Add' and a new Namespace field will appear.
5. Select the Namespace you would like to have an Identifier in, then add in an Identifier and version (not required).
2. Select the tab, then select 'Namespace'.
5. Once done, select the button and you will be taken to the newly created Namespace page.
2. Select the tab and then select Namespace under Type.
6. Select and your Identifier will now be visible in the Info Box of the item.
