Structural identifiability can be divided into *local* and *global* identifiability. If a model quantity is locally identifiable, it means that its true value can be determined down to a finite-number of possible options. This also means that there is some limited region around the quantity's true value where this true value is the only possible value (and hence, within this region, the quantity is fully identifiable). Globally identifiable quantities' values, on the other hand, can be uniquely determined. Again, while identifiability can be confirmed structurally for a quantity, it does not necessarily mean that it is practically identifiable for some given data.
