Remarks

Repository object identifiers are globally unique, and are the same across repositories for the same object. Repository internal identifiers are unique only within the scope of a single repository.

The translation performed by this method is performed without loading the object in question. This enables database queries involving an object or relationship type identifier to be constructed without having to load the definition object.
