RFC 2648 A URN Namespace for IETF Documents August 1999
Registration Information:
Registration version number: 1
Registration date: 1999-04-22
Declared registrant of the namespace:
Ryan Moats
AT&T
15621 Drexel Circle
Omaha, NE 68135-2358
Declaration of structure:
The identifier has the following ABNF [2] specification:
NSS = rfc-nss / fyi-nss / std-nss / bcp-nss /
draft-nss / mtg-nss / other-nss
rfc-nss = "rfc:" 1*DIGIT
fyi-nss = "fyi:" 1*DIGIT
std-nss = "std:" 1*DIGIT
bcp-nss = "bcp:" 1*DIGIT
draft-nss = "id:" string
mtg-nss = "mtg:" string
other-nss = string
; beginning with a prefix other than one of those
; above for future expansion
string = 1*(DIGIT / ALPHA / "-")
If the IESG (or it successor) adds a new document series,
this ABNF specification will need to be updated. Further,
if a working group or BOF is created that used characters
outside the range of this ABNF specification, this
specification will need to be updated. Any system intended
to resolve names for this namespace should be written with
the awareness that this could occur at any time.
Relevant ancillary documentation:
Relevant documentation is in RFC 2648.
