[ckan-dev] Global Resource Identifier: is it possible?

[Steven De Costa]

Yep, but I was wondering if Alessandro was talking about a DB that
potentially had IDs from different CKAN instances. If so the you'd want to
also match on the harvest source ID/URL.

For example, on data.gov.au and data.sa.gov.au each Solr service picks up
results from either of the two. More instances canbe linked into the
results without conflict too.
