+;;; 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") and 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 ID's at the same time in files that will eventually be used
+;; together.  Even higher security can be achieved by using different
+;; prefix values for each collaborator or file.
+;;
+;; 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.
