Would the URI potentially be used for finding the instance to update when the source changes, or is that not a relevant use case?

(implying that multiple instances could be subject to the same change following a single source record change if the URI is not unique)

just want to add that I checked in with my colleague , the engineer behind this work, and he shared that a more common case would multiple Sinopia BF Instance URIs with corresponding FOLIO Instances but those Sinopia BF Instances could all share a common Sinopia BF Work URI (but that URI does not need to be stored in FOLIO). So this aligns with my thinking below that those relationships would be managed externally and not be a requirement for FOLIO.

We didn’t consider checking for uniqueness. I don’t believe that’s a requirement but I will check with others.

that makes sense – if we expect a 1-1 relationship between a record and a source record, then uniqueness should be enforced

The field should contain unique values only, right?

Right
