Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
id |
string |
0..1 |
The ‘logical’ identifier of the Entity in the system of record, e.g. a UUID. This ‘id’ is unique within a given system, but may or may not be globally unique outside the system. It is used within a system to reference an object from another. |

MUST be “Method”. |
|
name |
