This seems to be unused, except for (perhaps) making every resource have a
unique-ness (e.g., be not "equal" to another resource).  The code has several
place where if the value of this field is null, it sets it to a UUID.

But there's no use that I can see.

The "reference" documentation does not mention this.  And I couldn't see a
reference to this in the OASIS UIMA spec.
