Well, they were structured like this, back in the days before computers. But in the era of QR codes big organisations can handle IDs of arbitrary complexity, and it's us punters who can't cope with long strings to identify things. That's why I'm saying "start with what the public wants and needs, and the companies can just load in the database".
