Device URNs
• URN (Uniform Resource Name)
• Unique name of a item
• Example: vessel:ps:adcp
• Composed of short names
• The path to your data is based on the URN
• Example: …/vessel/ps/adcp
• It is human readable in contrast to a numeric ID
• Short name
• catchy abbreviations of your item name
• Polarstern -> PS
• Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler -> ADCP
• can‘t be edited by a user, only admins can change the short name
