+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This file implements globally unique identifiers for Org-mode entries.
+;; Identifiers are stored in the entry as an :ID: property. Functions
+;; are provided that create and retrieve such identifiers, and that find
+;; entries based on the identifier.
+
+;; Identifiers consist of a prefix (default "Org" given by the variable
+;; `org-id-prefix') and a unique part that can be created by a number
+;; of different methods, see the variable `org-id-method'.
+;; Org has a builtin method that uses a compact encoding of the creation
+;; time of the ID, with microsecond accuracy. This virtually
+;; guarantees globally unique identifiers, even if several people are
+;; creating IDs at the same time in files that will eventually be used
+;; together.
+;;
+;; By default Org uses UUIDs as global unique identifiers.
+;;
+;; This file defines the following API:
+;;
+;; org-id-get-create
+;; Create an ID for the entry at point if it does not yet have one.
+;; Returns the ID (old or new). This function can be used
+;; interactively, with prefix argument the creation of a new ID is
+;; forced, even if there was an old one.
+;;
+;; org-id-get
+;; Get the ID property of an entry. Using appropriate arguments
+;; to the function, it can also create the ID for this entry.
+;;
+;; org-id-goto
+;; Command to go to a specific ID, this command can be used
+;; interactively.
+;;
+;; org-id-get-with-outline-path-completion
+;; Retrieve the ID of an entry, using outline path completion.
+;; This function can work for multiple files.
+;;
+;; org-id-get-with-outline-drilling
+;; Retrieve the ID of an entry, using outline path completion.
+;; This function only works for the current file.
+;;
+;; org-id-find
+;; Find the location of an entry with specific id.
