"identifier" : { "type" : "string" }, -> "identifier" : { "type" : "array" },

Research direction

Start by locating the ISA.Study schema and the code that reads or validates its identifier field. Compare the expected structure with the ARC example in inv.json and check existing validation coverage. Done means an ISA study can preserve a single identifier or accept distinct identifiers for multiple EMBL-EBI repositories without breaking existing data.
