Identifier (Parent module for everything of interest. 5.6 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicIdentifier
```
public interface Identifier
extends Comparable, Serializable
```
Marker interface for identifiers. Identifiers conform to the semantics of URIs. Why use URIs as the basis? because they are parseable and can be overloaded. Most identifiers are "opaque" meaning any system that uses them simply ignores their content and passes them along. These identifiers can be structured in a well-documented way, allowing for self-describing identifiers that can be used in a wide-variety of situations.
