I think you've got at least 2 choices -- Identifier or Source.
Neither one of those is specific to 'local'.
We tend to use Identifier for a number that actually gets the user to the
resource being cataloged. If it's electronic, it might resolve to a URL.
We use Source for non-electronic identifiers, like call numbers. Further,
we use Qualified Dublin Core and so can distinguish 'local' call numbers
from other 'standard' identifiers or sources.
