  - equals
```
boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)
```
    ProMID are used in Collections, so this method has to be implemented in all its subclasses.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
  - hashCode
```
int hashCode()
```
    ProMID are used in HashMaps, so this method has to be implemented in all its subclasses.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
  - equalsIgnoreType
```
boolean equalsIgnoreType(java.lang.Object o)
```
    Determines equality between this ProMID and any given object. Basically checks for equality using the toString() methods of both objects.
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - the object to compare the string representation with
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the toString() of this provided object ID equals the toString() of the given object parameter.
  - getUUID
```
java.util.UUID getUUID()
```
    Returns a UUID that is used for this object.
    
    Returns:
