How do public URLs, Root IDs, Machine URNs and vanity addresses refer to the same asset?

These identify or present the same asset in different ways. The public URL is shareable, Root ID preserves the technical identity and Machine URN supports system exchange. A vanity address is a memorable alias. Upgrades and aliases should remain linked to the original asset. Keep identity and change records when updating titles or versions.
