A Universally Unique IDentifier in the string representation defined in RFC 4122. The canonical representation uses lowercase characters.
The following is an example of a UUID in string representation: f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6 ";

type string;
The uri type represents a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) as defined by STD 66.
Objects using the uri type MUST be in US-ASCII encoding, and MUST be normalized as described by RFC 3986 Sections 6.2.1, 6.2.2.1, and 6.2.2.2. All unnecessary percent-encoding is removed, and all case-insensitive characters are set to lowercase except for hexadecimal digits, which are normalized to uppercase as described in Section 6.2.2.1.
The purpose of this normalization is to help provide unique URIs. Note that this normalization is not sufficient to provide uniqueness. Two URIs that are textually distinct after this normalization may still be equivalent.
Objects using the uri type may restrict the schemes that they permit. For example, 'data:' and 'urn:' schemes might not be appropriate.
A zero-length URI is not a valid URI. This can be used to express 'URI absent' where required.
In the value set and its semantics, this type is equivalent to the Uri SMIv2 textual convention defined in RFC 5017.

An ONAP event is an aggregation of a header and a message. Event messages may be published to a message broker by service instances, resource instances, or ONAP platform components. Service or resource instances may be in support of network infrastructure or customer services. Interested platforms may subscribe to events on the message broker (e.g. Centralized Testing Platform CTP) may see an event on a service VNF instance and perform an automated test as part of a closed loop management policy. Events are unique and distinguishable from one another.
ONAP event messages are serialized as a unicode ASCII character string which may be formatted as JSON, XML, etc... Appropriate schemas will be supplied.

Syslog’s can be classified as either Control or Session/Traffic. They differ by message content and expected volume:
• Control logs are generally free-form human-readable text used for reporting errors or warnings supporting the operation and troubleshooting of NFs. The volume of these logs is typically less than 2k per day.
• Session logs use common structured fields to report normal NF processing such as DNS lookups or firewall rules processed. The volume of these logs is typically greater than 1k per hour (and sometimes as high as 10k per second).
VES supports both classes of syslog, however VES is only recommended for control logs or for lower volume session logs, less than 60k per hour. High volume session logging should use a file-based transport solution.
