mediatorid

mediatorid is a term used to denote a unique identifier assigned to a mediator, the entity that facilitates communication, negotiation, or arbitration between two or more parties. The identifier enables tracking, auditing, access control, and routing within a system or process.

In formal mediation or arbitration, a mediator may be assigned an ID by a court, registry, or organization to distinguish participants, ensure confidentiality, and maintain case logs. In software engineering, the mediator pattern uses a central mediator object through which components communicate; a mediatorid may identify and locate specific mediator instances in a distributed system, service mesh, or message broker, enabling routing, auditing, and security policies. The id can be a simple string, UUID, or URI, depending on the environment.

Security and governance: mediatorids should be managed under identity and access management, with controls for issuance, revocation, rotation, and least-privilege access. In practice, the terminology and exact format depend on domain; check domain-specific documentation. See also: mediator pattern, identity, UUID, broker, orchestrator.
