An identifier (i.e. EID) typically is static (can be dynamcially assigned) and is used by the transport layer and not routable by the underlay. A locator (i.e. RLOC) is an address, according to the definition that everyone understands today, is used in the outer header encapsulation and is routable by the underlay. It is that simple, even though I made the description lengthy to be a bit more complete on their usage.
