During my testing of my gatherer addon I have noticed a pattern to the case differences.
Nodes ( Iron Ore, Jute, Maple ) etc. Are harvestable fixed objects in the game. Items ( iron ore, raw jute, maple) are the items you receive by harvesting from them.
So far, it has consistently been, objects = mix case, items = lower case. This means that they can be stored in the same table, with apparently the same key values and me treated differently.
EG.
Harvests[zone][node] = Nodes that were harvested. ( Harvests["Auridon"]["Iron Ore"] )
Harvests[zone][item] = Items harvested from nodes. ( Harvests["Auridon"]["iron ore"] )
That bit of information aside ...
If the item link is anything remotely like the ones in wow you will probably find that they will be markers such as quality, type, filterType, enchants, traits etc.
To figure them out look at multiple items with identical stats, and then ones with 1 or 2 different but the same in themselves. Ultimately you will see a bigger picture there.
