UidType should be abstract; need transmittle or referenceID

             Project: OASIS Energy Interoperation TC
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: wd28
         Environment: William Cox
            Reporter: William Cox
            Assignee: William Cox


The UidType should be abstract. Classes such as EiResponseType then have a uid but it must be a specific type. This will improve documentation and understanding.

ENERGYINTEROP-566 applied a uid to (apparently) the instance of a description of an Event, which also carries an EventIDType (in EventDescriptor).

This also relates to the question of what is identified - the object or the Event/Tender/Quote in all of its manifestations.

Consider the use of mRID for the artifact/instance and the abstract uid with concrete eventID, tenderID, quoteID, etc -- because you do NOT cancel an object instance that references the actual tender or event, you cancel the tender or event itself.

This affects the information model and the payloads. We want to return IDs (of the event) that allow us to get an event from an instanceID.

MessageID, TransmittalID, InstanceID, referenceID are all possible names for this function. 

I prefer (at this moment) transmittalID or referenceID.
