Summary:
A guid, or globally unique identifier, is an identifier
standard used in many disciplines including computer networks,
distributed computing, and databases. They can be used to tag
objects with very short lifetimes, to reliably identify very
persistent objects across a network. An attractive feature of
guids is their relative small size, of 128-bits, compared to
alternatives. Also the creation of guids does not require
a centralized authority.
