INFOIDDPNumber1TypeIntegerDescriptionTotal

INFOIDDPNumber is a hypothetical or proposed standard identifier used to uniquely identify data items within information processing ecosystems. It combines a fixed prefix with a numeric tail to create a stable, traceable label that can be carried across systems and stages. The goal is to support data provenance, governance, and reproducibility.

The typical format consists of the fixed prefix INFOIDDP followed by a numeric sequence, with optional version, environment, or vendor-specific extensions in extended implementations. The numeric portion is intended to be unique within a registry or namespace and may be generated deterministically from metadata or issued by a central service.

Use cases include auditing transformations, tracing data lineage in analytics pipelines, and linking data assets to access controls or policy records. In regulated contexts, the identifier helps demonstrate origin, transformation history, and accountability, making it easier to reproduce results and verify compliance.

Governance of INFOIDDPNumbers can be centralized, federated, or hybrid, often involving a registry or directory that enforces uniqueness, versioning, and lookup capabilities. Standards may define encoding, length limits, privacy safeguards, and interoperability guidelines to enable cross-system compatibility.

Limitations include administrative overhead, potential performance impacts in high-throughput environments, and the need for broad adoption to realize benefits across organizations. Related approaches include persistent identifiers such as DOIs and UUIDs, as well as data provenance frameworks and lineage tools.
