Abstract

   A system for Uniform Resource Names (URNs) must be capable of
   supporting new naming systems.  As an example of proposing a new
   namespace, this document proposes the "ietf" namespace.  This
   namespace consists of the RFC family of documents (RFCs, STDs, FYIs,
   and BCPs) developed by the IETF and published by the RFC Editor, the
   minutes of working groups (WG) and birds of a feather (BOF) meetings
   that occur during IETF conferences, and the Internet Drafts published
   by the Internet Drafts Editor.  Both the current URN framework and
   URN syntax support this namespace.

1. Introduction

   This document proposes the "ietf" namespace, which consists of the
   RFC family of documents (RFCs, STDs, FYIs, and BCPs) developed by the
   IETF and published by the RFC editor and the minutes of working
   groups (WG) and birds of a feather (BOF) meetings that occur during
   IETF conferences.

   The namespace specification is for a formal namespace.

2. Specification Template

      Namespace ID:

            "ietf" requested.

      Registration Information:

            Registration version number: 1
            Registration date: 1999-04-22

      Declared registrant of the namespace:

      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.

      Identifier uniqueness considerations:

            Because the rfc-editor assigns the RFC number uniquely these
            URNs are unique.  Since the mapping between RFCs and other
            rfc-editor document series (STDs, FYIs or BCPs) is not
            necessarily one-to-one, uniqueness of STDs, FYIs and BCPs
            are defined based on the document mappings maintained by the
            RFC Editor (the index files "rfc-index.txt", "fyi-
            index.txt", "bcp-index.txt", "std-index.txt") are defined to
            be the definitive statement of the assignment of RFC Family
            URNs in this namespace.  The meeting minutes portion of the
            namespace is guaranteed unique because the URN includes the
            sequence number of the IETF conference.  The document
            mapping maintained by the Internet Drafts editor ("1id-
            abstracts.txt") is defined as the definitive statement of
            the assignment of URNs for the internet draft portion of
            this namespace.

      Identifier persistence considerations:

            Persistence of the URNs of this namespace is independent of
            the mutability of the underlying documents.  A URN once
            assigned will never be reassigned to a different resource;
            the assignment is persistent and immutable.  Immutability of
            RFCs, STDs, FYIs and BCPs is at the discretion of the RFC
            Editor.  They may be composites of one or more RFCs and the
            set of RFCs that includes them may change with time.  It is
            important to note that this mutability of some resources is
            independent of the immutability of URN assignment to a
            resource.

      Process of identifier assignment:

            Assignment of URNs from this namespace occurs in three ways.
            The first is through publication of a new RFC, FYI, STD or
            BCP is by the RFC Editor. This new document will have a new
            series number and will therefore define a new URN.  The
            document mappings maintained by the RFC Editor (the index
            files "rfc-index.txt", "fyi-index.txt", "bcp-index.txt" and
            "std-index.txt") are defined to be the definitive statement
            of the assignment of RFC Family URNs in this namespace.

            The second way a URN is assigned is through the filing of
            meeting minutes by a working group or birds of a feather as
            part of an IETF conference.  The list of minutes maintained
            by the IETF for each working group and conference in the
            subtree pointed at by the URL ftp://ietf.org/ietf/ is
            considered the definitive assignment of URNs for working
            group or birds of a feather minutes.

            The third way a URN is assigned is through the publication
            of a new internet-draft by the Internet Draft Editor.  This
            draft will have a distinct name (and version number) and
            therefore defined a new URN.  The document mapping
            maintained by the Internet Drafts editor ("1id-
            abstracts.txt") is defined as the definitive statement of
            the assignment of URNs for this portion of the namespace.

      Process of identifier resolution:

            A mirrored copy of the underlying documentation is required
            to resolve these URNs.  Resolution via HTTP is done by a set
            of simple Perl cgi-bin scripts presented in Appendix A.

      Rules for Lexical Equivalence:

            The entire URN is case-insensitive.

      Conformance with URN Syntax:

            There are no additional characters reserved.

      Validation mechanism:

            None additional to resolution specified

      Scope:

            Global.

3. Examples

   The following are examples of URNs that a resolver for this namespace
   can resolve:

         urn:ietf:rfc:2141
         urn:ietf:std:50
         urn:ietf:id:ietf-urn-ietf-06
         urn:ietf:mtg:41-urn

4. Security Considerations

   Because this namespace defines no additional reserved characters, it
   does not add any security considerations beyond those inherent from
   the existence of the reserved characters from [1].  Further, none of
   the reserved characters from [1] are used in the definition of the
   NSS. This means that resolvers for this namespace may be considered
   "secure" in the sense that any escaping of characters in the NSS MUST
   result in the resolver indicating that the URN has incorrect syntax.
