RFC 3001 URN Namespace of Object Identifiers November 2000 Registration Information: Registration Version Number: 1 Registration Date: 2000-04-30 Declared registrant of the namespace: I need help here. I'm not comfortable being the 'registrant'. So who do I actually put here? The ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 - SubCommittee 6 The actual real authority is the ASN.1 specification itself but at present SC6 is the committee that has the authority to interpret what that means. Declaration of structure: The NSS portion of the identifier follows the string encoding rules found in RFC 1778 Section 2.15 [3] which specifies a series of digits separated by a period with the most significant digit being at the left and the least significant being at the right. No changes are anticipated since Object Identifiers are fairly simple and have been standardized with no changes for many years. Relevant ancillary documentation: Relevant documentation can be found in X.660/Amd 2 | ISO/IEC 9834-1/Amd 2 [2]. Identifier uniqueness considerations: The rules for assignment of OIDs requires that each OID be unique to the OID space and that it cannot be reassigned or reused. By reference this URN namespace inherents those rules. Identifier persistence considerations: The rules concerning the use of OIDs requires that they not be reused once assigned. By reference this URN namespace inherents those rules. Process of identifier assignment: Once an OID is assigned to some entity, that entity can then create and assign new OIDs below that particular OID. There are multiple entities that assign new OIDs to the general public. The top three levels are pre-assigned as follows: Mealling Informational
