Declaration
ASSET_TO_URI(asset) -> asset_uri
Parameters
asset (required, type: Asset)
The Asset to create a URI for.
Return Values
asset_uri (type: string)

Examples
An Asset's URI is essentially a concatenation of the various identifiers in the Asset that allow it to be located.
ASSET_TO_URI({
"organizationId": "15a00ea3-6980-48ea-8e8c-651ddff1f0bf",
"assetKey": "f1919287-7659-459e-a975-4d057762cc17",
"id": "46dc543e-e960-4d38-8dd0-ec51dfdd19d1",
"version": 0,
"visibility": "GLOBAL"
}) -> "asset://global:15a00ea3-6980-48ea-8e8c-651ddff1f0bf:f1919287-7659-459e-a975-4d057762cc17:46dc543e-e960-4d38-8dd0-ec51dfdd19d1:0"
Discussion
The function URI_TO_ASSET is the opposite operation of ASSET_TO_URI. However, it is not a perfect symmetry. An asset can contain more information than just its location information. Once serialized to a URI, that information cannot be accessed from the resulting URI.
