Introduction   The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is an   organization whose objectives include the educational and technical   advancement of electrical and electronic engineering,   telecommunications, computer engineering, and allied disciplines.   Within IEEE, standardization activities are organized into sponsors,   such as the LAN/MAN Standards Committee, and then working groups such   as 802.1 and 802.3.  See <http://standards.ieee.org>.   As part of these specification efforts, there is a need to maintain   identifiers in a managed namespace that is unique and persistent.  To   ensure that this namespace's uniqueness is absolute, a registration   of a specific URN Syntax [RFC2141] Namespace Identifier (NID) for use   by IEEE is specified in this document, in full conformance with the   NID registration process specified in URN Namespace Definition   Mechanisms [RFC3406].1.1.

RFC 8069                 URN Namespace for IEEE            February 20172.  URN Specification for IEEE   Namespace ID:      ieee   Registration information:      registration version number: 1      registration date: 2016-12-05   Declared registrant of the namespace:    Registering organization:      Name:        Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers      Address:        445 Hoes Lane        Piscataway, NJ 08854        USA      Designated contact person:        Angela Thomas        Role: Manager, IEEE Registration Authority        Email: ieee-registration-authority@ieee.org   Declaration of syntactic structure:      The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs that use the IEEE      NID will have the following structure:        urn:ieee:{IEEEresource}:{ResourceSpecificString}      where "IEEEresource" is a US-ASCII string that conforms to the URN      syntax requirements [RFC2141] and defines a specific class of      resource type.  Each resource type has a specific labeling scheme      that is covered by "ResourceSpecificString", which also conforms      to the naming requirements [RFC2141].      IEEE maintains a registration authority, the IEEE Registration      Authority (IEEE RA), that will manage the assignment of      "IEEEresource" and the specific registration values assigned for      each resource class.Thomas                        Informational                     [Page 3]

RFC 8069                 URN Namespace for IEEE            February 2017   Relevant ancillary documentation:      The IEEE Registration Authority (IEEE RA) provides information on      the registered resources and the registrations for each.  More      information about this registry and the procedures to be followed      are available at:http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/tut/ieeeurn.pdf   Identifier uniqueness considerations:      The IEEE RA will manage resources using the IEEE NID and will be      the authority for managing the resources and subsequent associated      strings.  In the associated procedures, the IEEE RA will ensure      the uniqueness of the strings themselves or will permit secondary      responsibility for management of well-defined sub-trees.   Identifier persistence considerations:      IEEE will update documentation of the registered uses of the IEEE      NID as needed.  This will be structured such that each      "IEEEresource" will have a separate description and registration      table.      The registration tables and information are published and      maintained by the IEEE RA on its web site.   Process of identifier assignment:      IEEE RA will provide procedures for registration of each type of      resource that it maintains.   Process for identifier resolution:      The namespace is not listed with an RDS; this is not relevant.   Rules for Lexical Equivalence:      The strings used as values for "IEEEresource" and      "ResourceSpecificString" are case insensitive.   Conformance with URN Syntax:      No special considerations.Thomas                        Informational                     [Page 4]

RFC 8069                 URN Namespace for IEEE            February 2017   Validation mechanism:      None specified.  URN assignment will be handled by procedures      implemented in support of IEEE activities.   Scope:      Global3.  Examples   The following examples are representative URNs that could be assigned   by the IEEE RA.  While support for YANG [RFC6020] [RFC7950] was a   catalyst for the creation of the namespace, the following are not   necessarily the strings that would be assigned.      urn:ieee:std:802.5:yang      urn:ieee:foobar4.  Security Considerations   There are no additional security considerations other than those   normally associated with the use and resolution of URNs in general,   which are described in Functional Requirements for URNs [RFC1737],   URN Syntax [RFC2141], and URN Namespace Definition Mechanisms   [RFC3406].5.  IANA Considerations   This document adds "ieee" to the "Formal URN Namespaces" registry   <http://www.iana.org/assignments/urn-namespaces>.  This is the   defining document.6.  References6.1.
