The Fedora data model documentation says: "Data objects can now be freely shared between Fedora repositories. If a federated identifier-resolver system, such as the Handle System™, or any authoritative name registry system is used, the Data object will have the same identifier for each copy of itself in each participating repository."
What exactly does this mean? There's nothing about it anywhere further in the documentation. You've always been able to share datastreams that are external to Fedora repositories, so I assume it doesn't mean that. Do you just mean that if you use something like a handle to generate your PID, you can duplicate foxml objects because you have guaranteed uniqueness in the PIDs? Or is there something else being explained here?
