A node reference
A node reference uniquely identifies an entity node in the metadata graph. All node reference instances referring to the same entity node that are maintained by a single DSP application are identical (in the object sense).

Node references should not be confused with the String id field of a Node Node. Node references are structured node identifiers that allow for introspection of their kind as opposed to the id fields which are flat Strings.
