unreferenced article date April 2008 The function of identification is to map a known quantity to an unknown entity so as to make it known. The known quantity is called the identifier or Id and the unknown entity is what needs identification. A basic requirement for identification is that the Id be unique. Ids may be scoped, that is, they are unique only within a particular scope. Ids may also be built out of a collection of quantities such that they are unique on the collective. For Data storage device data storage , identification is the capability to find, retrieve, report, change, or delete specific data without ambiguity . This applies especially to information stored in database s. In Database normalization database normalisation , it is the central, defining function to the discipline. Example To retrieve the data stored about an individual with the Internal Revenue Service IRS of the United States , the IRS needs to be supplied with the individual s Social Security number SSN . The SSN, then, identifies a unique individual to the IRS. No other living person has that SSN, and that individual is assumed to not have more than one SSN. Other data that the individual s SSN identifies with the IRS would be such things as his or her name, birthdate, and current employer.
