        Purpose

        Many identifier standards allow multiple representation variants.
        This class captures format variants and supports choosing a canonical
        form for storage versus a display form.

        Examples (illustrative)

        - ISNI:
          - "0000 0000 0000 0000" (display, spaced)
          - "0000000000000000" (canonical, compact)
          - "http://isni.org/isni/0000000000000000" (URI form)

        - ISIL:
          - "NL-AmUvA" (full form)
          - "AmUvA" (local part)

        - Wikidata:
          - "Q12345" (short form)
          - "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q12345" (full URI)

        Usage

        - Store in canonical form when possible.
        - Use a display-appropriate format when presenting to humans.
