 * A persistent object's Identity has one of the following XRI 2 authority forms
 * @openmdx*‹openmdx-authority›
 * 
@openmdx*‹openmdx-authority›*($t*(+class)*‹model-class›)
 * 
 * 
 * The openmdx-authority sub-segment is defined as 
 * following:

 * In general, the openmdx-authority begins with the top level domain name 
 * of the organization and then the organization's domain and then any 
 * subdomains listed in reverse order.
 * 
Its components are separated by dots (.).
 * 
They should be all lowercase characters whenever possible.
 * 
 * 
 * The model-class sub-segment is defined as following:

 * The model-class begins with an optional namespace followed by
 * the class name.
 * 
Its components are separated by two colons (::).
 * 
The namespace should be omitted if it consists of exactly the same 
 * components as the the openmdx-authority.
 * 
 * A transient object's Identity has the following XRI 2 authority form
 * $t*uuid*‹uuid›
