+ a: 'A node name is a unique identifier used in DataONE that refers to a specific repository. Users may not interact with this name much unless they are using the API, but it is used widely around our systems and power users may encounter it when they need to refer to a repository ("node") within DataONE. We usually suggest that repositories use their primary name or acronym for this value; for example, the Arctic Data Center is `urn:node:ARCTIC` and the KNB is `urn:node:KNB`. "URN" stands for Uniform Resource Name, which is another way of saying that it is a unique value that refers specifically to the repository, in a similar way to that of a URL ("Uniform Resource Locator"). URNs are machine-readable links within DataONE systems, whereas URLs are links within broader internet systems.'
