  • Why Bricolage documents have UUIDs

    https://justatheory.com/2005/11/bricolage-why-uuids/

    Some time ago, I decided that all objects in Bricolage 2 would have Universally Unique Identifiers, also known as “UUIDs.” A UUID is guaranteed to be universally unique, never to be generated again by the same or any other system now or in the future. As anyone using Bricolage knows, all stories and media already have IDs, so why have UUIDs, as well? How does their purpose differ?
