A means for recognition. Evidence that an item is the same as something claim ed, described or specified. [D02827] RMW

control process using a unique identifier to determine whether the specific user is known to the system.

The one-to-many (1:N) process of comparing a biometric sample against all biometric templates in a system to determine if there is a match with any of the samples on file. Answers the questions: “Who is this? Is this person already known to the system under a different identity

the process of recognizing something or someone by remembering; "a politician whose recall of names was as remarkable as his recognition of faces"; "experimental psychologists measure the elapsed time from the onset of the stimulus to its recognition by the observer"

a mainly unconscious process by which a person formulates a mental image of another person and then thinks, feels, and acts in a way that resembles this image.

A defense mechanism, operating unconsciously, by which one patterns oneself after some other person. Identification plays a major role in the development of one's personality and specifically of the superego. To be differentiated from imitation or role modeling, which is a conscious process.

modelling oneself on a successful person.

Patterning of one's behavior after that of another person.

process through which information about historic properties is gathered.

An aspect of the discovery process that identifies the management protocol and type of system.

The selecting and labeling process. Requirements to be identified as gifted may vary between schools and districts. (see Identification)

The process of specifically identifying an object from a large class of objects through reading symbols.

The process of comparing and matching an unknown entity with a known entity; the known may be a specimen, an illustration, a photo, or electronic image.

The process by which an unidentified specimen is determined to be a member of a particular taxon. See also classification, nomenclature, systematics, and taxonomy.

To identify an organism is to determine which taxon it belongs to. An “accurate” identification is not only correct, but will identify an organism with a particular species. However, it is not at all unusual, in practice, that an identification can only be made to genus or even higher level. There are many possible reasons. Perhaps the organism being identified is incomplete; some part (e.g. a flower) which is necessary for a completely accurate identification is not present. This problem is particularly acute when it comes to identifying fossils, which are more commonly fragmentary than not. In some cases, the species may not have been previously recognized, or even if recognized, not described. In such cases, a relationship to a similar species which has been described might be indicated with an aff. indicating “affinity to,” or the less confident cf. meaning “compare with.

(DOD/IADB) the process of determining the friendly or hostile character of an unknown detected contact. In ground combat operations, discrimination between recognizable objects as being friendly or enemy, or the name that belongs to the object as a member of a class. (NATO) In imagery interpretation, the discrimination between objects within a particular type or class.

Identification is the process whereby data is associated with a particular identity. It is performed by acquiring an identifier. [Source: Roger Clarke.] Within a designated context, identifiers enable relying parties to distinguish between the entities they interact with. This is known as identification. [Source: Stefan Brands.] Identification is the act of claiming an identity, where an identity is a set of one or more signs signifying a distinct entity. [Source: Stephen Downes.] [See also: Authentication.

Associating an identity with a subject (e.g. a network ID with a request). The entity only needs to be identified later (e.g. to send a network packet to it). This means that 'who' or 'what' comprises the identity is not important (merely that the packet was delivered correctly). Often, identification is taken to mean "Identification+ Authentication" (and vice versa: "Authentication=Identification+Authentication"), but strictly these are two separate concepts. See our primer document for more background on identification and authentication.

Identification is the method used to distinguish one user from all others. Identification techniques provide a means of providing authorised entry to the University's resources such as workstations, networks and applications. Identification is closely linked to authentication.

The process of stating the identity of a principal. No proof of authenticity of the identity is implied.

The act of identifying, or proving to be the same; also, the state of being identified.

An Act or instance of identifying.

the act of designating or identifying something

In psychoanalytic theory, a mechanism whereby a child (typically) models himself or herself on the same-sex parent in an effort to become like him or her.

The process when a customer identifies him or herself with the company that provides products or services.

The process of differentiating a signal caused by one type of defect from signals caused by other types of defects or pipeline features. Identification is particularly important for mechanical damage defects because their signals are so small that they can be mistaken as due to benign conditions. Mechanical-damage signals are also small compared to signals from metal loss and features such as valves.

This word term sometimes designates state of the ego without the divine presence. It also represents the close relationship between who we imagine ourselves to be and the content of our thoughts, feelings and actions. Often we are nothing other than these. We are so closely absorbed by them that they define us entirely. In this case, such a form of identification so restricts and narrows us that we cannot reach our full, created potential.

The mental step which places an experience within the internal world of Mercy thought. If an experience, in some particular context, has stronger emotions than related memories which already reside within the Mercy internal world, then identification is involuntary.

The mechanism by which the ego matches the id's mental image of a desired object with the actual perception of that object in reality, and the process by which the developing personality conforms its standards and behaviors to those of significant models.

see station identification (ID) and network identification.

A commercial of exposures to a certain media without regard to duplication.

A short, usually ten-seconds or less, commercial that identifies the station.

Within 45 days after the relinquished property is exchanged, a property must be designated as a possible replacement property in writing to the facilitator, real estate agent, or escrow officer. One of the identified properties must be acquired within 180 days of the initial exchange.

The process of confirming the identity of a person. Identification is facilitated in public key cryptography by means of certificates.

Within 45 days after the Relinquished Property is exchanged. The Replacement Property must be identified in writing, typically to the facilitator.
