Information technology Open Systems Interconnection Procedures for the operation of OSI Registration Authorities: General procedures and top arcs of the International Object Identifier tree Study Group 17
This Recommendation | International Standard:
a) specifies a registration-hierarchical-name-tree (RH-name-tree) which is a generic tree structure for
allocations made by a hierarchical structure of Registration Authorities, and the specific form of this that
supports the ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER type and the ASN.1 OID-IRI type (see ITU-T Rec. X.680 |
ISO/IEC 8824-1);
b) registers top-level arcs of the international object identifier tree;
c) specifies procedures which are generally applicable to registration in the context of any RH-name-tree;
d) provides guidelines for the establishment and operation of International Registration Authorities for use,
when needed, by other Recommendations and/or International Standards;
e) provides guidelines for additional Recommendations | International Standards which choose to reference
the procedures in this Recommendation | International Standard;
f) provides a recommended fee structure for lower-level Registration Authorities;
g) records the information provided to IETF and the registration with IANA of the "oid" IRI scheme (see
Annex F).
NOTE 1 – This Recommendation | International Standard does not exclude or disallow the use of any syntactic form of names or
naming domains for registration purposes. This Recommendation | International Standard is intended to cover those cases where
a registration-hierarchical-name is an appropriate form of identification.
NOTE 2 – Information about registration for specific objects is contained in separate Recommendations | International Standards.
This Recommendation | International Standard applies to registration by Recommendations and/or International
Standards, by International Registration Authorities (see clause 8), and by any other Registration Authority.
