Description

der Slash in [Fig./1] steht nicht in den Daten, wo kommt der her?

Fig .1 ist in den Daten als "idInSource": "1", mit "idNamespace": "Fig." eingegeben. Bisher wird die idInSource immer mit einem Slash an den Namespace angehängt. Das ist offensichlich keine allgemein funktionierende Herangehensweise.

In the meanwhile we have changed the default separator from slash to space (#6815). But still configurability might be an issue.

Regarding configurability: A simple default character would not be suffcient. Woul'nt we rather need a rule based approach? A cdm database may contains quite different identifiers types which need different formatting.

Two basic rules:

if idNamespace is a URI the separator is '/'

otherwise it is ' '

In general I agree, if this is easy enough to implement. Until now we did not have many namespaces being URIs. Implementing a simple character might be a first step and if we get usecases where this is not enough we might implement rules.

Maybe the rule could simply be that namespaces ending on "/" should not have a space while others need a space. Maybe there are also other characters that do not require a space.
