| | 39 | * Identifiers exist in two stages: created and fixated. |
| | 40 | * In the "created" stage, only the owner can add bindings, |
| | 41 | or release the identifier. |
| | 42 | * In the "fixated" stage, no-one can release the identifier |
| | 43 | and any authenticated party can add bindings. |
| | 44 | * There's no way to "unfixate" an identifier - |
| | 45 | it is permanently published. |
| | 46 | * There is no "search" for existing identifiers - this |
| | 47 | service is not intended to be an index of definitions - |
| | 48 | users are intended to utilize the base URI endpoint for |
| | 49 | that sort of task. |
