  "Description": "It is often useful to produce short, quasi-unique\nidentifiers (SQUIDs) without the benefit of a central authority\nto prevent duplication. Although Universally Unique Identifiers\n(UUIDs) provide for this, these are also unwieldy; for example,\nthe most used UUID, version 4, is 36 characters long. SQUIDs\nare short (8 characters) at the expense of having more\ncollisions, which can be mitigated by combining them with\nhuman-produced suffixes, yielding relatively brief, half\nhuman-readable, almost-unique identifiers (see for example the\nidentifiers used for Decentralized Construct Taxonomies; Peters\n& Crutzen, 2024 <doi:10.15626/MP.2022.3638>). SQUIDs are the\nnumber of centiseconds elapsed since the beginning of 1970\nconverted to a base 30 system. This package contains functions\nto produce SQUIDs as well as convert them back into dates and\ntimes.",
