Don't forget catalogues! According to the Catalogue DM, a catalogue can have:
My point of view:
- The title of XYZ is a string describing the content of XYZ, as in a
scientific paper (actually this is the origin of the ucd);
- the name/identifier is a string uniquely identifying XYZ, as for
humans (e.g.: Andrea Preite Martinez is my name/identifier);
- a short name for me could be APM (and my "code" could be my social
security number!).
I don't see the difference between name and identifier.
Another point is that a "possible" ucd is not necessarily a "good" ucd!!

Good, why not?

The ucd-word obs.observer was introduced to describe the observer/discoverer of a source, then extended to PIs. By the way, not always the PI is also the Observer, so why not have both!
