Yes, but it covers things like websites and ISBN numbers.
You can't use ISBN for publications, except as optional metadata, as many publications have no ISBN. Even many books don't have one.
And I don't know how I feel about putting i tags into d tags. All this index nesting is weird to me.
Then use a DOI? Or some other identifier?
What are you even trying to achieve? I don’t get it.
I have different things and want to rate them, on a scale of 0-to-1, with the same kind:
The Dead Sea Scrolls (no ISBN, but a 30040 index event with a d-tag)
A recipe for tuna sandwiches, in a longform article 30024.
A product entry on Marketplace for a coffee pot from Siemens.
A relay.
A website.
A Model T Ford.
A hashtag #asknostr.
I was originally thinking that I would just only rate things that I can simply address with an e or a tag, I'd include that tag, and that's all.
But everyone else is using a d tag that contains all possible identifiers and addresses for everything in existence, including other tags, nested within the d tag. Like, a d-tag with i-tags and e-tags and a-tags in it. And I find that confusing.
to me this feels like a namespace problem, and perhaps the wiki style events can provide a namespace for things that don't have their own identifier
It's both a namespace problem and the question of whether it isn't better to use different tags to describe different things, outright, instead of nesting the different tags in a d-tag, just so that you can pretend that they're all using the same identifier.
also, if you have your own event kind that doesn't clash with existing kinds, I think it's fine to define the semantics for let's say the o-tag to be whatever you want it to be
And then I thought like you, that I'd use i tags (which already include hashtags and geotags and etc., btw) for stuff that didn't fit.
But why put the i tag inside of a d tag?
You want an updateable review. Ok. You need to put it inside the d tag.
Because the d tag uniquely identifies what is being reviewed, and you cannot have 2 different PREs with the same reviewed target (like the same book) but with different d tag
So, the d tag goes inside the other d tag?
Can you have i tags inside of a d tag inside of a d tag inside of another d tag?
Yeah, I'm not going to do the nested index tag thing. Made something I expected to be extremely simple much more complicated, and less filterable, just to save one tag. I'm just going to have a normal reference tag appropriate for whatever is being rated and a normal d tag.
