hi John,<div><br></div><div>please use the GeoNetwork Users list for questions on GeoNetwork : <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geonetwork-users">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geonetwork-users</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>When creating a new metadata in GeoNetwork a UUID is automatically created for it; when importing a metadata you can choose whether it does nothing related to UUIDs (this could cause a clash if another metadata with the same already exists, the import fails then), whether it assigns a new UUID to it, or whether it overwrites an existing metadata with the same UUID in case it already exists. </div>
<div><br></div><div>UUIDs are generated using <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/UUID.html#randomUUID()">http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/UUID.html#randomUUID()</a>.</div>

there</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span>I've using
GeoNetwork v2.4 and gather that the GeoNetwork software somehow automatically

exactly how the UUID is assigned to a particular record?</span></font></div>
