(1) In distributed relational database, an identifier or short label that is mapped by the environmental descriptors to a named resource.
(2) A 1-byte identifier assigned to parts of the data stream to facilitate PSF processing. For example, the Map Coded Font structured field assigns each coded font a local identifier. When a coded font is required for processing, this identifier is specified in the Set Coded Font Local text control. Other local identifiers are assigned to suppressions and overlays. See also coded font local identifier.
