A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : A UUID URN Namespace
Author(s) : M. Mealling, et. al.
Filename : draft-mealling-uuid-urn-01.txt
Pages : 33
Date : 2003-10-3
This specification defines a Uniform Resource Name namespace for
UUIDs (Universally Unique IDentifier), also known as GUIDs (Globally
Unique IDentifier). A UUID is 128 bits long, and can provide a
guarantee of uniqueness across space and time. UUIDs were originally
used in the Network Computing System (NCS) [1] and later in the Open
Software Foundation's (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment [2].
This specification is derived from the latter specification with the
kind permission of the OSF (now known as The Open Group). Earlier
versions of this document never left draft stage; this updated
version incorporates that information here.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-mealling-uuid-urn-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
