General

A common view of prefixes are on printable labels

All ES/S Compatible Systems, but especially the ones used in complex enterprise applications make use of prefixed identities. This is used to clarify and allocate the identity space a company uses internally. The idea behind is to uniquely allocate prefixes to a specific dataset type or enumeration, that for example, can be a customer, a project or a task.

Most systems used alongside database systems use non prefixed auto-incrementing counters, that do not reset upon entry deletion. The ES/S Systems differ somewhat that all available space is used at any time. This behaviour maximizes disburse of storage expenses and merchantability of the complete organization. The space filling can be deactivated and is linked closely with checksum creation to ensure no confusions are made during data maintenance.

Benefits

The benefits of using a prefixed identity scheme are obviously achieving direct adressability both electronically and manually. A lone datasets provides the exact usage type of following identity suffixes and can be addressed without further information on any process, no matter if on paper or transmitted digitally.

Format

Due to compatibility with legacy systems and legacy hardware, the vast majority of resources for enterprise applications uses digits only. Some identites can include alphabetic characters, or multidimensional prefixing (ES/S Identity Chain). The products that solely rely on in-place programming and integrated scripting environments, like ES/S-A take advantage of alphabetic prefixes.

List of common prefixes

Extensible Services / Server for Web Services

Prefix Type Description
K Network Process Fingerprint A Network Process Fingerprint is used to identitfy a exact resource copy that was sent to a client device over a network like the internet.

Pan-Organizational Use

Between branches or accros different legal entities, all identities can be chained. Secondly, any ES/S-Compatible identity has a unique checksum (Starting with CR) that can verify if a identity really belongs to a specific organization. These checksums are calculated from the organizational identifier key.

Customizability

Most distributions allow for extension or forking of data types. This mechanisms include addressing of unallocated prefixes. The prefix length is not limited, however included identities (compatibility layer) are generally 2-digits, while recent innovations use variable length or unsectioned prefixing.
