Subject: [CODE4LIB] Authority Control for Databases

Is anybody aware of any type of standard identifier for databases?  Or
any movement to create one?

Matching on name seems very backwards.

If there's not a group trying to create said authority, how could
something like that be started?  Would anybody else see value in this?
