+
+Abstract
+
+   This document describes a Uniform Resource Names (URN) namespace that
+   contains Object Identifiers (OIDs).
+
+1. Introduction
+
+   An Object Identifier is a series of digits delimited in some way.
+   The rules roughly state that once an entity is assigned an Object
+   Identifier (OID) it has sole discretion to further subdelegate off of
+   that OID.  Some examples of OIDs include:
+
+   o  1.3.6.1 - the Internet OID
+   o  1.3.6.1.4.1 - IANA-assigned company OIDs, used for private MIBs
+      and such things
+   o  1.3.6.1.2.1.27 - The Applications MIB
+   o  0.9.2342.19200300.100.4 - Object ID's used in the directory pilot
+      project to identify X.500 Object Classes.  Mostly defined in RFC-
+      1274.
+
+   This document specifies the "oid" URN namespace [1].  This namespace
+   is for encoding an Object Identifier as specified in ASN.1 [2] as a
+   URI.
+
+   The namespace specification is for a formal namespace.
+
+2. Specification Template
+
+   Namespace ID:
+
+      "oid" requested.

+RFC 3001          URN Namespace of Object Identifiers      November 2000
+
+
+   Registration Information:
+
+      Registration Version Number: 1
+      Registration Date: 2000-04-30
+
+   Declared registrant of the namespace:
+
+      I need help here.  I'm not comfortable being the 'registrant'.  So
+      who do I actually put here?
+
+      The ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 - SubCommittee 6 The
+      actual real authority is the ASN.1 specification itself but at
+      present SC6 is the committee that has the authority to interpret
+      what that means.
+
+   Declaration of structure:
+
+      The NSS portion of the identifier follows the string encoding
+      rules found in RFC 1778 Section 2.15 [3] which specifies a series
+      of digits separated by a period with the most significant digit
+      being at the left and the least significant being at the right.
+
+      No changes are anticipated since Object Identifiers are fairly
+      simple and have been standardized with no changes for many years.
+
+   Relevant ancillary documentation:
+
+      Relevant documentation can be found in X.660/Amd 2 | ISO/IEC
+      9834-1/Amd 2 [2].
+
+   Identifier uniqueness considerations:
+
+      The rules for assignment of OIDs requires that each OID be unique
+      to the OID space and that it cannot be reassigned or reused.  By
+      reference this URN namespace inherents those rules.
+
+   Identifier persistence considerations:
+
+      The rules concerning the use of OIDs requires that they not be
+      reused once assigned.  By reference this URN namespace inherents
+      those rules.
+
+   Process of identifier assignment:
+
+      Once an OID is assigned to some entity, that entity can then
+      create and assign new OIDs below that particular OID.  There are
+      multiple entities that assign new OIDs to the general public.  The
+      top three levels are pre-assigned as follows:

+RFC 3001          URN Namespace of Object Identifiers      November 2000
+
+
+         0 - ITU-T assigned
+         1 - ISO assigned
+         2 - Joint ISO/ITU-T assignment
+
+      several assigned OIDs that are of importance to the Internet are:
+
+         1.3.6.1 - the Internet OID
+         1.3.6.1.4.1 - IANA-assigned company OIDs, used for private
+                       MIBs and such things
+
+   Process of identifier resolution:
+
+      At this time no resolution mechanism is defined.
+
+   Rules for Lexical Equivalence:
+
+      OIDs are composed of multiple occurrences of digits and the "."
+      character.  Lexical equivalence is achieved by exact string match.
+
+   Conformance with URN Syntax:
+
+      There are no additional characters reserved.
+
+   Validation mechanism:
+
+      None.
+
+   Scope:
+
+      Global
+
+3. Examples
+
+   The following examples are taken from the example OIDs from the
+   Introduction:
+
+      urn:oid:1.3.6.1
+      urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1
+      urn:oid:1.3.6.1.2.1.27
+      URN:OID:0.9.2342.19200300.100.4
+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+   None not already inherent to using unverifiable OIDs
