Object identification in object models means that every object instance has a unique, unchanging identity.
Object identification is often referred to as an OID. OIDs are used to reference
object instances.
Characteristics of OIDs:
OIDs are independent of data contained in the object. The internal data
values are not used to generate identification.
OIDs are generated by the object system. Users or programs have no control
over identification.
OIDs last the lifetime of the object. The OID never
changes even when the data contents may change.
