Description
The French National Library has two entries in the Identifiers list in the book edit page.
- Bibliothèque Nationale de France
- Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF)
Only the first one works, the second one has no effect.
Furthermore, it is not clear which identifier from the BnF should be included, they have two:
- Identifiant de la notice : ark:/12148/cb45200132d
- Notice n° : FRBNF45200132

Steps to Reproduce
Open any French book
Find the book in the catalogue of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, in the case of my example:
https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb44219691j
Attempt to add one of the identifiers to each of the two entries from the identifier list:
- Bibliothèque Nationale de France
- Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF)
The first entry should result in a new identifier in the list, the second will have no effect.
-
Actual: I feel confused, which identifier to use and which identifier list entry to use. Then, one does not even work.
-
Expected: There is either one clearly labelled identifier or two clearly separate identifiers, where it is clear which identifier from the source to enter.

Proposal & Constraints
There are two possible solutions:
-
Remove one identifier and clearly mark the expected identifier in the entry,
i.e. Bibliothèque Nationale de France (ark) -
Keep both identifiers, but make sure both work and tie them to the different identifiers the library uses.
Bibliothèque nationale de France ("ark" or "Identifiant")
Bibliothèque nationale de France ("FRBNF" or "Notice n°")
