## Data Type Profile: Custodian Assigned URN Identifier

Official URL: http://minvws.github.io/generiekefuncties-docs/StructureDefinition/nl-gf-custodianassignedurnidentifier | Version: 0.9.0-ballot
Active as of 2026-04-02 | Computable Name: CustodianAssignedUrnIdentifier

An (unique) OID or UUID identifier that was assigned by the original custodian. The custodian is 'The entity that is accountable for maintaining a true an accurate copy of the original record'. I.e. this custodian is responsible for the 'single source of truth' for this data object. The 'custodian-assigned-identifier' is the unambiguous and persistent identifier for both the data object and the custodian.
