UUID stands for Universally Unique Identifier, a standard for software construction and a part of the Open Software Foundation's distributed computing environment. A UUID is a 128-bit number that can be generated by an algorithm. For efficiency, commonly used UUIDs can be shortened to 16 characters. A UUID is used to identify property types and is considered a unique identifier across all space and time. Generally, it guarantees that any UUID generated anywhere will not be duplicated. One of the benefits of using a UUID is that it allows for the creation of new identifiers for new services. The standard UUID format is: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx (8-4-4-4-12).
