[ncc-services-wg] another attribute for organisation object

[Engin Gunduz <]

Dear colleagues,

From the feedback we've got, it looks like we want another
attribute in the organisation object, in which users can put
an "organisation number" or an "organisation-id".  This can be
a VAT number, or a number assigned by a certain Chamber of
Commerce, or any kind of other ID.

We would propose calling it "business-id:". We have thought of
"org-id:" but the org-ID is the string we will have in
"organisation:" attribute, so calling another attribute
"org-id:" would be confusing. "national-id:" would have been
another idea, but some IDs might not be a national one, like
an ID assigned uniquely in the EU.

So the proposal is to add

business-id:    [optional] [multiple]

as a new attribute. It is optional, as an organisation might
not have such an ID. It is multiple, because an organisation
might have multiple such IDs.


Thanks and best regards,
