1. A radio frequency identification (RFID) system, comprising:
a cloud network including a plurality of cloud applications and an identification data provider,
wherein, collectively, the plurality of cloud applications cloud network is configured to receive commands from a plurality of endpoint applications, wherein each of the endpoint applications corresponds to a corresponding one of the cloud applications, wherein the commands include a write command to write identification data to an RFID tag, such that a first endpoint application is configured to transmit a given write command to a first one of the cloud applications, and a second endpoint application is configured to transmit a given write command to a second one of the cloud applications,
wherein the identification data provider is configured to receive a request to provide the identification data, wherein the identification data provider is further configured to responsively provide the identification data, wherein the identification data is unique across the plurality of cloud applications,
wherein the cloud network is configured to communicate directly with a plurality of RFID devices to cause a given one of the RFID devices to write the identification data to the RFID tag according to the write command, and
wherein the cloud network comprises a plurality of device web servers, and wherein the cloud network is configured to communicate with the given one of the RFID device through a given one of the device web servers, and wherein the write command is transmitted from a given endpoint application to the given device web server via a given cloud application.
