The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A URN Namespace for the TV-Anytime Forum ' <draft-kameyama-tv-anytime-urn-02.txt> as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Ted Hardie. Technical Summary This document describes a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace that is engineered by the TV-Anytime Forum for naming persistent resources published by the TV-Anytime Forum including the TV-Anytime Forum Standards, XML (Extensible Markup Language) Document Type Definitions, XML Schemas, Namespaces, and other documents. Working Group Summary This is the product of an external body, rather than an IETF working group. It was reviewed by the URN-NID list, as required for all URN registrations. Protocol Quality On the URN-NID list, Michael Mealling reviewed the document. Ted Hardie reviewed the document for the IESG. RFC Editor Note OLD: NEW: 4. Community Considerations The names in this namespace are to be used in any public implementations of the TV-Anytime Forum specifications so that anybody can benefit from the officially assigned namespace. Potential beneficiary communities include: a) Implementers of the TV-Anytime specifications. Resources that comply with the TV-Anytime Forum specifications (including TV-Anytime schemas, instance documents that comply with TV-Anytime schemas and TV-Anytime default Classification Schemes) may, by means of the registered namespace, become exposed to the general Internet and gain from the interoperability benefits of the Internet at large. b) Implementers of other specifications that incorporate components of the TV-Anytime specifications. URNs used to identify TV-Anytime components may be used to enable their inclusion in, and enhancement of, other specifications while maintaining, to a certain degree, interoperability with the TV- Anytime community (see a) above). c) Implementers of other semantically related specifications that do not directly incorporate components of the TV-Anytime specifica- tions. URNs used to identify components of the TV-Anytime specifications, such as identifiers of terms within default Classification Schemes, may enable interoperation with other semantically deter- mined specifications (including present and future meta- data/resource description and ontology specifications) of rele- vance to TV-Anytime implementation communities (see a) and b) above). 5. Namespace Considerations This application requires a unique namespace because the assignment mechanism requires delegation to the TV-Anytime Forum. As a namespace used to identify components of the TV-Anytime specifications, the TV-Anytime Forum will manage the inter-relationship of the components and the uniqueness of the identifiers IANA Note The IANA considerations section should read: Please add an entry to the URN registry when the NID is approved _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
