 * An identifier for semantic axioms, in the form of an URI that has at least

 * The identifier does not hold info about a physical location. Protocol does

 * 
 * Any identifier name must be unique for itself within the same authority name.
 * An example: http://hi3project.com/broccoli/bsdm#serviceDescription
 * 
 * 
 * http://gii.udc.es/semanticServices would be the authority name
 * bsdm/serviceDescription would be the identifier name, and it should be
