All Rights Reserved. + +Abstract + + This document describes a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace for + the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) for naming persistent + resources as part of the MPEG standards. Example resources include + technical documents and specifications, eXtensible Markup Language + (XML) Schemas, classification schemes, XML Document Type Definitions + (DTDs), namespaces, style sheets, media assets, and other types of + resources produced or managed by MPEG. + +1. Introduction + + MPEG is a working group of the International Organization for + Standardization (ISO) and International Engineering Consortium (IEC) + in charge of the development of standards for coded representation of + digital audio and video. MPEG has produced MPEG-1, the standard on + which such products as Video CD and MP3 are based, MPEG-2, the + standard on which such products as Digital Television set top boxes + and DVD are based, MPEG-4, the standard for multimedia for the fixed + and mobile web, and MPEG-7, "Multimedia Content Description + Interface", the standard for description and search of audio and + visual content. Work on MPEG-21, "Multimedia Framework" is currently + underway. + + MPEG would like to assign unique, permanent, location-independent + names based on URNs for some resources it produces or manages. + + This namespace specification is for a formal namespace. + + + + + +Smith Informational [Page 1] + +RFC 3614 URN Namespace for MPEG September 2003 + + +2. Specification Template + + Namespace ID: + + "mpeg" + + Registration Information: + + Version: 1 + Date: 2001-11-20 + + Declared registrant of the namespace: + + Name: John R. Smith + Title: Chair, MPEG MDS Subgroup + Affiliation: IBM T. J. Watson Research Center + Address: 30 Saw Mill River Road + Hawthorne, NY 10532 USA + Phone: +1 (914) 784-7320 + Email: jrsmith@watson.ibm.com + + Declaration of structure: + + URNs assigned by MPEG will have the following hierarchical + structure based on the organizational structure of the MPEG + standards: + + urn:mpeg:{standard name}:{assigned US-ASCII string} + + where "{standard name}" is a US-ASCII string that conforms to URN + Syntax requirements ([RFC2141]) and corresponds to the name of an + MPEG standard (such as "mpeg1", "mpeg2", "mpeg4", "mpeg7", + "mpeg21", and + + "{assigned US-ASCII string}" is a US-ASCII string that conforms to + URN Syntax requirements ([RFC2141]). + + The individual URNs shall be assigned by MPEG through the process + of development of MPEG standards. + + Relevant ancillary documentation: + + None + + Identifier uniqueness considerations: + + MPEG shall establish unique identifiers as appropriate. + + + + +Smith Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 3614 URN Namespace for MPEG September 2003 + + + Uniqueness is guaranteed as long as the assigned string is never + reassigned for a given standard name and that the standard name is + never reassigned. + + Identifier persistence considerations: + + MPEG is committed to maintaining the accessibility and persistence + of all resources that are officially assigned URNs by the + organization. + + Persistence of identifiers is dependent upon suitable delegation + of resolution at the level of "standard name"(s), and persistence + of standard name assignment. + + Process of identifier assignment: + + Assignment is limited to the owner and those authorities that are + specifically designated by the owner. MPEG may designate portions + of its namespace for assignment by other parties. + + Process of identifier resolution: + + The owner will develop and maintain "URN catalogs" that map all + assigned URNs to Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) specifically to + enable Web-based resolution of named resources. In the future an + interactive online resolution system may be developed to automate + this process. + + The owner will authorize additional resolution services as + appropriate. + + Rules for Lexical Equivalence: + + The "standard name" is case-insensitive. Thus, the portion of the + URN: + + urn:mpeg:{standard name}: + + is case-insensitive for matches. The remainder of the identifier + must be considered case-sensitive. + + Conformance with URN Syntax: + + No special considerations. + + Validation mechanism: + + None specified. The owner will develop and maintain URN catalogs. + + + +Smith Informational [Page 3] + +RFC 3614 URN Namespace for MPEG September 2003 + + + The presence of a URN in a catalog indicates that it is valid. + + Scope: + + Global + +3. Examples + + The following examples are not guaranteed to be real. They are + presented for pedagogical reasons only. + + urn:mpeg:mpeg7:schema:2001 + urn:mpeg:mpeg7:cs:VideoDomainCS:2001 + urn:mpeg:mpeg7:cs:GenreCS:2001 + urn:mpeg:mpeg7:cs:ContentCS:2001 + +4. Namespace Considerations + + URN assignment procedures: + + The individual URNs shall be assigned through the process of + development of MPEG standards by the Moving Picture Experts Group + (MPEG), which is a working group of ISO/IEC. + + URN resolution/delegation: + + The resolution and delegation shall be determined through the + process of development of MPEG standards by the Moving Picture + Experts Group (MPEG). MPEG has developed requests for + registration authority for MPEG-7 classification schemes and + MPEG-21 identification systems. These registration authorities + shall be responsible for corresponding parts of MPEG namespace. + + Type of resources to be identified: + + Types of resources to be identified include XML schema definition + files, classification schemes, identification systems. + + Type of services to be supported: + + Types of services supported include controlled term lookup in + classification schemes, resolution of ids in identification + systems. + + + + + + + + +Smith Informational [Page 4] + +RFC 3614 URN Namespace for MPEG September 2003 + + +5. Community Considerations + + Open assignment and use of identifiers within the namespace: + + With on-going development of MPEG standards, MPEG shall establish + requirements for assignment and use of identifiers within MPEG + namespace. MPEG has already established requirements for + assignment and use of MPEG-7 classification schemes under MPEG + namespace. A registration authority shall have the responsibility + for processing third party requests for registering classification + schemes. + + Open operation of resolution servers for the namespace (server): + + With on-going development of MPEG standards, MPEG shall establish + requirements and seek candidates for operating resolution servers + as appropriate. + + Creation of software that can meaningfully resolve and access + services for the namespace (client): + + With on-going development of MPEG standards, MPEG shall develop + reference software implementations of its standards. + +6. Security Considerations + + There are no additional security considerations other than those + normally associated with the use and resolution of URNs in general. + +7. IANA Considerations + + The IANA has registered formal URN namespace 12, to MPEG within the + IANA registry of URN NIDs. + +8.
