Content Manager item identifiers used by Core Service

The Core Service exposes two separate ways of identifying an item in the Content Manager: Content Manager URIs (TCM URIs) or WebDAV URLs (Uniform Resource Locators).

Content Manager URIs is an ID type that the Content Manager uses for each identifiable Content Manager object. The Id property of an identifiable object in the Core Service (that is, of any item that is derived from the IdentifiableObjectData class) is always a Content Manager URI (a TcmUri object on server-side .NET, a string type on the client).
