Computed Identifiers
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.. note:: This section depends on the :ref:`ga4gh-identifiers`, which
is under discussion. Based on conversations with GA4GH
technical leaders, the proposal is expected to be approved
and, therefore, this VR proposal assumes the use of the
``ga4gh`` prefix.

In the event that the proposal is not accepted, this section
will be modified as described in :ref:`plan-b`. Because
identifiers created through this proposal are expected to be
durable, it is critical for GA4GH to make a long-term
decision regarding identifiers.


The VR-Spec provides an algorithmic solution to deterministically
generate a globally unique identifier from a VR object itself. All
valid implementations of the VR Computed Identifier will generate the

Namespace Contingency Plan
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

In the event that :ref:`ga4gh-identifiers` is not accepted, the
following changes will be made to this section of the specification:

* The namespace (CURIE prefix) will become ``vr``.

* In the function names `ga4gh_digest`, `ga4gh_identify`, and
`ga4gh_serialize`, `ga4gh` will be replaced with `vr`.

* The GA4GH VR team will manage type prefixes.

All other aspects of the computed identifier scheme will remain intact.
