DocId

• A DocId is the system's unique identifier for a document. Each DocId consists of 3 parts:

  repository

  Identifies the repository in which the document is stored.

authority
Identifies the authority that provided the document. The authority is a namespace in which the assigned ids are unique.
assignedId
The document identifier assigned to this document by the authority.

A DocId is usually received as an encoded string. The most common encoding consists of 3 colon-separated tokens. Colons within each of the first 2 tokens are encoded as %3A. For example, if the repository is s3, the authority is http://somedomain.com and the assignedId is xyz, the encoded DocId is s3:http%3A//somedomain.com:xyz
