What identifies a Beacon?

[Diana Lemos]

Hello,

I would like to know what identifies a Beacon. For instance, one institution has data for two assemblies, using different URLs to access the data (one URL for each assembly). 

Would that be necessary to have two beacons with different ids or it's just one beacon but with different datasets in different assemblies? 

Thanks,

Diana

Hi Diana,

We typically add a separate Beacon with its own unique ID for each dataset, but it is possible to combine multiple datasets into a single Beacon. Do you have a use case in mind that would require representing a collection of datasets as a single Beacon on Beacon Network?

Cheers,

Jonathan
