<dd><p>A Web Publication canonical identifier is a singular and unique identifier for a Web Publication
provided at time of publication. It is persistent and immutable across all instantiations of the
Web Publication. It SHOULD be an IRI (and therefore also a locator). If not an IRI, it MUST be
possible to make a 1-to-1 mapping of the canonical identifier to a locator. A cononical identifier
that is an IRI, or a locator mapped from a canonical identifier, can be referred to as an Identifying
IRI. While the canonical identifier itself is persistent, its mapping to an IRI MAY be dynamic. </p></dd>

<dd><p>A Web Publication canonical identifier is assigned to a Web Publication by the publisher.
It SHOULD be a dereferenceable IRI and the Web Publication Address. If not, it MUST be possible to
make a 1-to-1 mapping to the Web Publication Address. If a dereferenceable IRI it MAY be used as the
value of the href attribute of a canonical link element (i.e., a link element with a
rel='canonical' attribute).</p></dd>
