apparently as of April 23, 2025, SWHID (software heritages ID system for "persistent, intrinsic identifiers for software source code artifacts such as source code files, source trees, commits, and other objects typically found in version control systems".) has become an international standard, known as ISO/IEC 18670:2025

This may be a neat system of unique identifier that is useful to potentially start rolling out in the Augur schema so its ready when we find out exactly how it is useful.
