TableInfo: id_namespace.tsv - nih-cfde/published-documentation GitHub Wiki

A table listing identifier namespaces registered by the DCC submitting this C2M2 instance

Each identifier namespace is a unique URI prefix, pre-registered with CFDE and attached to your program (or a subset of your program) that identifies anything labeled with it as belonging to you. Please see the technical documentation for a full discussion of how this information is built and used.

The id_namespace.tsv table will contain one row per identifier namespace registered with CFDE for your program.
