Calculates a GOID (Geographic Object IDentifier) for each incoming feature, and adds it as a new attribute.
The GOID is a unique 128-bit number that incorporates the position of a feature with other numbers. The result is a unique value that may be used to distinguish features from each other. The 128-bit GOID is composed of 32 hex digits in an ASCII string. The first 16 characters correspond to the position (as defined by the first two coordinates of the feature), the next 10 to the time, the next 4 to the sequence number.
Parameters
New GOID Attribute
The attribute that contains the calculated GOID.
