+Abstract
+
+   This document describes the Namespace Identifier (NID) for Uniform
+   Resource Namespace (URN) resources published by the 3rd Generation
+   Partnership Project (3GPP). 3GPP defines and manages resources that
+   utilize this URN name model.  Management activities for these and
+   other resource types are provided by the 3GPP Support Team.

+RFC 5279                 URN Namespace for 3GPP                July 2008
+
+
+1.  Introduction
+
+   3GPP is a cooperation of international telecommunication standards
+   bodies developing technologies for cellular networks.  This activity
+   is supported by a membership composed of network operators, equipment
+   vendors, content providers, and other suppliers to the mobile market.
+
+   Some of the technologies being developed by 3GPP need URN namespaces
+   that are managed so that they are unique and persistent.  To assure
+   that the uniqueness is absolute, the registration of a specific NID
+   for use by 3GPP was deemed appropriate.  Therefore, a full and
+   complete registration will follow the namespace specification process
+   as defined in RFC 3406 [RFC3406].
+
+2.  URN Specification for the 3GPP Namespace Identifier (NID)
+
+   Namespace ID:
+
+         3gpp
+
+   Registration Information:
+
+         registration version number: 1
+         registration date:           2007-11-16
+
+   Declared registrant of the namespace:
+
+         Registering organization
+            Name:    3rd Generation Partnership Project
+            Address: ETSI
+                     Mobile Competence Centre
+                     650, route des Luciole
+                     06921 Sophia-Antipolis Cedex
+                     France

+
+
+   Declaration of syntactic structure:
+
+      The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs that use the
+      "3gpp" NID will have the following structure:
+
+            urn:3gpp:{3gpp-urn}
+
+
+
+

+
+RFC 5279                 URN Namespace for 3GPP                July 2008
+
+
+      where the "3gpp-urn" is a US-ASCII string that conforms to the
+      NSS(Namespace Specific String) Syntax described in RFC 2141
+      [RFC2141] and defines a specific resource type.
+
+   Relevant ancillary documentation:
+
+      3GPP provides information on registration for each URN.  More
+      information about 3GPP and the registration activities and
+      procedures to be followed are available at:
+
+            http://www.3gpp.org/tb/Other/URN/URN.htm
+
+   Identifier uniqueness considerations:
+
+      3GPP will manage resources using the "3gpp" NID and will be the
+      authority for managing the "3gpp-urn" strings.  In the associated
+      procedures, 3GPP will ensure the uniqueness of the strings
+      themselves or shall permit secondary responsibility for management
+      of well-defined sub-trees.
+
+      3GPP may permit use of experimental type values that will not be
+      registered.  As a consequence, multiple users may end up using the
+      same value for separate uses.  Unregistered type values will only
+      be allowed in sub-namespaces clearly marked as experimental, to
+      help implementors avoid "leaking" experimental values into real
+      use.
+
+   Identifier persistence considerations:
+
+      3GPP will provide clear documentation of the registered uses of
+      the "3gpp" NID.  This will be structured such that each "3gpp-
+      urn", if needed, will have a separate description and registration
+      table.
+
+      The registration tables and information will be published and
+      maintained by 3GPP on its web site.
+
+   Process of identifier assignment:
+
+      3GPP will provide procedures for registration of each type of
+      resource that it maintains.  Each such resource may have three
+      types of registration activities:
+
+      1.  Registered values associated with 3GPP specifications or
+          services
+
+      2.  Registration of values or sub-trees to other entities
+

+RFC 5279                 URN Namespace for 3GPP                July 2008
+
+
+      3.  Name models for use in experimental purposes
+
+   New Namespace Identifier (NID) labels
+
+      The Entries in the registration table will be the following:
+
+        3gpp-urn:    the registered value;
+        Description: description of the registered value;
+        Reference:   3GPP spec that defines the value;
+        Contact:     person requesting the URN assignment.
+
+   Process for identifier resolution:
+
+      The namespace is not listed with a Resolution Discovery System
+      (RDS), as this is not relevant.
+
+   Rules for Lexical Equivalence:
+
+      No special considerations; the rules for lexical equivalence of
+      RFC 2141 [RFC2141] apply.
+
+   Conformance with URN Syntax:
+
+      No special considerations.
+
+   Validation mechanism:
+
+      None specified.  URN assignment will be handled by procedures
+      supported and maintained by 3GPP.
+
+   Scope:
+
+      Global
+
+3.  Examples
+
+   The following examples are representative URNs that could be assigned
+   by 3GPP.  They are not actual strings that are assigned.
+
+   urn:3gpp:featurephones
+
+      Defines the "3gpp-urn" to be used for "featurephones".
+
+   urn:3gpp:acme.foo-serv
+
+      Defines the URN associated with the operator identified by the
+      "3gpp-urn" value "acme", which has decided to register and provide
+      information about its service identified by value "foo-serv".

+
+
+4.  Namespace Considerations
+
+   The 3rd Generation Partnership Project is developing a variety of
+   enablers and applications.  Some of these require information to be
+   fully specified.
+
+   For proper operation, descriptions of the needed information must
+   exist for the URNs and be available in a unique, reliable, and
+   persistent manner.
+
+   As 3GPP is ongoing and covers many technical areas, the possibility
+   of binding to various other namespace repositories has been deemed
+   impractical.  Each object or description, as defined in 3GPP, could
+   possibly be related to multiple different other namespaces, so
+   further conflicts of association could occur.  Thus, the intent is to
+   utilize the 3GPP specifications manager as the naming authority for
+   3GPP-defined URNs and its descriptions.
+
+5.  Community Considerations
+
+   The objects and descriptions required for enablers produced by 3GPP
+   are generally available for use by other organizations.  The 3rd
+   Generation Partnership Project Support Office will provide access and
+   support for name requests by these organizations.  This support can
+   be enabled in a timely and responsive fashion as new objects and
+   descriptions are produced.
+
+6.  Security Considerations
+
+   There are no security considerations other than those normally
+   associated with the use and resolution of URNs in general.
+
+7.  IANA Considerations
+
+   This section registers a new URN NID with the registration provided
+   in Section 2.
+
+   "3gpp-urn" strings are identified by label managed by 3GPP.  Thus,
+   creating a new label does not require any IANA action.
