An enumeration is a namespace in which MQL creates human-readable unique indentifiers for instances. This identifier can be used as a foreign key to simplify reconciliation between Freebase and other datasets, provides a way to access Freebase topics without needing to reference the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID), and enforces uniqueness among Freebase topics. An example of enumeration would be the NCBI Taxon ID, where the number 9233 refers to the Emperor Penguin.
