41 * $Id$
42 *
43 * Created: [Apr 6, 2004]
44 *
45 * Defines a UID iCalendar component property.
46 *
47 * <pre>
48 * 4.8.4.7 Unique Identifier
49 *
50 * Property Name: UID
51 *
52 * Purpose: This property defines the persistent, globally unique
53 * identifier for the calendar component.
54 *
55 * Value Type: TEXT
56 *
57 * Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters can be
58 * specified on this property.
59 *
60 * Conformance: The property MUST be specified in the &quot;VEVENT&quot;, &quot;VTODO&quot;,
61 * &quot;VJOURNAL&quot; or &quot;VFREEBUSY&quot; calendar components.
62 *
63 * Description: The UID itself MUST be a globally unique identifier. The
64 * generator of the identifier MUST guarantee that the identifier is
65 * unique. There are several algorithms that can be used to accomplish
66 * this. The identifier is RECOMMENDED to be the identical syntax to the
67 * [RFC 822] addr-spec. A good method to assure uniqueness is to put the
68 * domain name or a domain literal IP address of the host on which the
69 * identifier was created on the right hand side of the &quot;@&quot;, and on the
70 * left hand side, put a combination of the current calendar date and
71 * time of day (i.e., formatted in as a DATE-TIME value) along with some
72 * other currently unique (perhaps sequential) identifier available on
73 * the system (for example, a process id number). Using a date/time
74 * value on the left hand side and a domain name or domain literal on
75 * the right hand side makes it possible to guarantee uniqueness since
76 * no two hosts should be using the same domain name or IP address at
77 * the same time. Though other algorithms will work, it is RECOMMENDED
78 * that the right hand side contain some domain identifier (either of
79 * the host itself or otherwise) such that the generator of the message
80 * identifier can guarantee the uniqueness of the left hand side within
81 * the scope of that domain.
82 *
83 * This is the method for correlating scheduling messages with the
84 * referenced &quot;VEVENT&quot;, &quot;VTODO&quot;, or &quot;VJOURNAL&quot; calendar component.
85 *
86 * The full range of calendar components specified by a recurrence set
87 * is referenced by referring to just the &quot;UID&quot; property value
88 * corresponding to the calendar component. The &quot;RECURRENCE-ID&quot; property
89 * allows the reference to an individual instance within the recurrence
90 * set.
91 *
92 * This property is an important method for group scheduling
93 * applications to match requests with later replies, modifications or
94 * deletion requests. Calendaring and scheduling applications MUST
95 * generate this property in &quot;VEVENT&quot;, &quot;VTODO&quot; and &quot;VJOURNAL&quot; calendar
96 * components to assure interoperability with other group scheduling
97 * applications. This identifier is created by the calendar system that
98 * generates an iCalendar object.
99 *
100 * Implementations MUST be able to receive and persist values of at
101 * least 255 characters for this property.
102 *
103 * Format Definition: The property is defined by the following notation:
104 *
105 * uid = &quot;UID&quot; uidparam &quot;:&quot; text CRLF
106 *
107 * uidparam = *(&quot;;&quot; xparam)
108 *
109 * Example: The following is an example of this property:
110 *
111 * UID:19960401T080045Z-4000F192713-0052@host1.com
112 * </pre>
