3.4.8 Resource Identifiers for Standard URIs


   Standard URIs are, by definition, known to more than one client and/or data provider. If there are multiple data providers that support a given URI, then only one of them can be responsible for translating it to a ResourceID (along with the other URIs with the same container).

   The designated data provider must supply the translation to the other data providers, which must function as clients of its ResourceIDService.

   A conforming DAF data provider implementation must be capable of obtaining the translations of standard URIs from another data provider if so configured.
