Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, so any pointers to other 
sources of information are also much appreciated.

Universities within our federation are catching-up with 
projects/environments that aim to ease students' mobility in respect to 
their identification and asked about how to deal with attributes needed 
for this.
Particularly, the construction of European Student Identifier (ESI) as 
it is suggested at [1] is in debate, the second form seems to be 
suitable (urn:schac:personalUniqueCode:int:esi:<sHO>:<code>), but we are 
seeking for information about what other federations recommended to 
their constituency, mainly regarding what to use for <code> part in 
above form, or/and if there are any country-level regulations dealing 
with this so uniqueness is somehow guaranteed if the other form 
(urn:schac:personalUniqueCode:int:esi:<country-code>:<code>) is used.


Thank you and best wishes,
Valeriu.
