hi John, please use the GeoNetwork Users list for questions on GeoNetwork : https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geonetwork-users.
When creating a new metadata in GeoNetwork a UUID is automatically created for it; when importing a metadata you can choose whether it does nothing related to UUIDs (this could cause a clash if another metadata with the same already exists, the import fails then), whether it assigns a new UUID to it, or whether it overwrites an existing metadata with the same UUID in case it already exists. UUIDs are generated using http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/UUID.html#randomUUID() .
