The value may be a unique identifier from a database, or simply a more explicit name for the referent. Its purpose is only to record an identification.

In providing a ‘regularised’ form, no claim is made that the form in the source text is incorrect; the regularised form is simply that chosen as the main form for purposes of unifying variant forms under a single heading.
