in the way of PID contextual information.

Event Timeline

I don't know if this is important information for the documentation but the identifier is also resolvable in the web-ui search box (https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/)

docs/persistent-identifiers.rst
205

Also n2T.net (Name-to-Thing) resolves our identifiers
works like https://identifiers.org/ with the slight advantage that it resolves the identifier with context as well.
