[kepler-dev] unique id generation

[Derik Barseghian]

Hi Michal,

Kepler uses "Kepler-LSIDs" for unique ids quite extensively now:
https://kepler-project.org/developers/teams/framework/kepler-life-science-identifiers-keplerlsid/?searchterm=lsids

We even use them in filenames in some instances, e.g. workflow files  
within KARs.
LSIDGenerator might be of interest to you.
