    description: 'Number that tells how uncertain an identifier is compared with other
      identifiers provided by an Asset Link. The highest the number, the more uncertain
      the identification must be considered. This number has to be considered relative
      to the other identifiers for the same element. The default value is 0, meaning
      no uncertainty.

      This index helps decide across Asset Links which identifiers are better suited
      for deduplication. The identifier provided by two different Asset Links with
      the lowest uncertainty should be chosen for deduplication purposes.'
