Object Identifier(s) or OID(s):
It must be possible to positively identify an Item as it moves
through the news workflow, and is transferred from place to place
and from system to system. An Item therefore gets a globally
unique identifier (guid), which is a persistent, universally unique
identifier, and a version which is incremented when the content of
the Item is updated. The first version is numbered 1: if the version
is not explicitly set, this value must be assumed by the recipient of
the Item. The guid is required to be in the form of a IRI. Any IRI
capable of acting as a globally unique identifier is accepted; the
IPTC provides a standard for this purpose in the form of an IETF RFC
[RFC-3085].

Intended usage:

A Planning Item conveys information for the editorial staff of
media companies about the planned coverage of events or topics
by a news provider.
Typically a Planning Item holds details like the headline,
keywords and the time of release for a set of planned News Items,
Concept Items or Package items. Further a Planning Item
may provide a list of already delivered Items.
