4.2.4.1.2 Assign and maintain persistent identifiers of the AIP and its components

The repository shall assign and maintain persistent identifiers of the AIP and its components so as to be unique within the context of the repository.

All APTrust Intellectual Objects and their components are assigned persistent identifiers upon creation. These identifiers are maintained in perpetuity and are immutable.
