For context, one should also note the entire industry just uses the term UUID to define a similar thing. In normal fashion, Microsoft went off and renamed the things and added some object goo in .NET.
You can also, in .NET or other languages pull or build a specific UUID version too. Because they are specific and were made with different contexts. For example, with Go check out these options...
