Considerations:

  • some entities are dynamically created, so the can only have dumb IDs
  • semantic refs are essential for frontend localization (note that they should be combined with entity name to provide a unique identifier)
  • refs create more clear data fixtures and are easier to work with in analysis (given they would be caled something_ref, not just ref)
  • semantic in IDs can cause problems
  • consistency is important, there should be no "should I use something_id or something_ref moments
