Description

Require nonempty institutionCode and localObjectId and serialize their pair as namespacedId.

Require nonempty institutionCode and localObjectId and serialize their pair as namespacedId.

Limitations and assumptions

  • This preserves a supplied institutional scope without authentication, duplicate resolution, ownership, accession validity, or object provenance verification.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
