Difference between version 2 and version 1:

- Unlike names or references in isolation, GUIDs can be unique, unambiguous, and permanent "keys" to taxonomic concepts. Their real value will be exposed when they serve as vehicles for communication about concepts across many taxonomic databases. Queries may eventually run through GUIDs (!), not traditional names. What ''exactly' should receive a GUID, and how this information can be managed for the long term, is still unclear.
