- Method Detail
  - resolve
```
String resolve(String label)
```
    Finds the identifier corresponding to the given label.
    
    Parameters:
    
    label - The label to resolve.
    
    Returns:
    
    The identifier of the entity with the given label, or null if the label could not be resolved.
  - add
```
void add(String label,
         String identifier)
```
    Registers a new label-to-identifier mapping.
    
    Parameters:
    
    label - The label to register.
    
    identifier - Its corresponding identifier.
  - getNewId
```
String getNewId(String label)
```
    Mints a new identifier for the given label.
    This method is used when a KGCL “create” instruction does not include an identifier for the node to be created (e.g., create class 'my new class'). It shall return a new identifier for the node to be created.
    Any subsequent call to resolve(String) with the same label shall return the same identifier.
    
    Parameters:
    
    label - The label for which an identifier is requested.
    
    Returns:
    
    The newly minted identifier.
