UniversallyUniqueIdentifier_Type¶
Bases: NBOBaseClass
Represents the XML simple type UniversallyUniqueIdentifier.
This is a unique ID for the file but does not conform to the ID pattern used in the rest of the file. The rest of the IDs are either an full LSID or an internal ID which is a string that is simply unique in this file. As the UniversallyUniqueIdentifier is used from outside this file to identify it having the same ID in another file could cause problems. A UUID is 32 hexadecimal digits, in 5 groups, 8-4-4-4-12, separated by hyphens e.g....................... urn:uuid:3e450fae-b8f2-4d35-aa54-702168b2487f There are methods to generate these in most modern languages. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt
