Quote: in a distributed environment need unique, permanent ids (128 bits) for all data

Note

maintenance in distributed environment. need to have unique id for all data. Can only create a new object, can't modify. Went for 128 bit id including date/time, random number, where to look for it, CRC, and machine id. Want sparse name area with names that last forever. Can't delete the data. In this way can identify the data.
