Determining a DSpace item's 'UUID'

[Gabriel Galson]

Group- 

How exactly do UUIDs work in DSpace?  Specifically, how can I find an item's UUID?  I don't see anything about this in the documentation, other than on this page from 2010.  I've been told by Symplectic Elements (which we've connected to our DSpace) that they use an item's UUID, rather than its Handle, to synch the two systems, however, I can't figure out what exactly they're referring to.  

Any help or insight would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

In DSpace 6, UUID's are the default identifier.

If you click the "Edit Item" link in the UI, you will see the UUID.

The DSpace 6 REST Report tools will also show you the UUID.

Terry-

Thanks again for your help.  Can you confirm that in this screenshot, the UUID is the 'Item Internal ID' value?  We just want to make sure!

Hi Gabe,

Yes the "Item Internal ID" is the same as the UUID.  In DSpace 5.x and below this "Internal ID" was an incrementing number (e.g. 46 or 4005).  In DSpace 6.x, we changed the "Internal ID" into a UUID (which is a random 36 character string).
