Format and schema for modulandids are not fixed universally, but common approaches include hierarchical or delimited
Generation and maintenance of modulandids can be deterministic or random. Deterministic schemes derive the id from
Applications and implications include plugin architectures, package managers, dynamic loading and unloading of modules, and cross-system
