+1.  Introduction
+
+   The Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) is a pan-industry initiative with the
+   purpose of producing end-to-end specifications for IPTV that will
+   take the next generation of IPTV into the mass market.  The Forum,
+   which is fully open to participation from the communications,
+   entertainment, and other relevant industries, will focus on the
+   development of specifications that will help streamline and
+   accelerate deployments of IPTV technologies and will maximize the
+   benefits of IPTV for consumers, network operators, content providers,
+   service providers, consumer electronics manufacturers, and home and
+   network infrastructure providers.
+
+   The main objective of the Open IPTV Forum is to produce end-to-end
+   specifications for IPTV including:
+
+      o  Architecture and interfaces
+
+      o  Network and terminal functionality
+
+      o  Interactive and personalized services

+RFC 6893                        OIPF URN                      March 2013
+
+
+      o  Technology choices for all major functionalities
+
+      o  A common UNI (User-Network Interface) for the Open Internet and
+         Managed Networks
+
+      o  Certification of equipment, including end user devices and
+         service provider offerings
+
+   The end-to-end specifications support:
+
+      o  A variety of IPTV and Internet multimedia services
+
+      o  Managed networks and the Open Internet
+
+      o  Integration with communication services
+
+      o  Convergence of IPTV and multimedia services across different
+         access technologies
+
+      o  Easy integration of third-party content offerings
+
+      o  Authentication and content protection
+
+      o  Various devices in the home network
+
+   The OIPF is basing its end-to-end IPTV specifications on relevant
+   standards produced by other bodies and is collaborating with them to
+   encourage convergence where appropriate and address any shortcomings
+   or gaps.
+
+   In the creation of the end-to-end IPTV specification, some new
+   resources need to be defined.
+
+   The OIPF would like to assign unique, permanent, location-independent
+   names based on URNs for some resources it produces or manages.  These
+   URNs will be constructed according to the URN syntax defined in
+   [RFC2141].
+
+   This namespace specification is for a formal namespace to be
+   registered according to the procedures set forth in [RFC3406].
+
+2.  URN Specification for the OIPF Namespace Identifier (NID)
+
+   This section provides the information required to register a formal
+   namespace according to the registration procedure defined in
+   [RFC3406].  The URNs conform to the syntax defined in [RFC2141].

+
+      Email:         contact@oipf.tv
+
+   Declaration of structure:
+
+      URNs assigned by the OIPF will have the following structure based
+      on the organizational structure of the resources specified in the
+      OIPF IPTV Solution specifications:
+
+         urn:oipf:<NSS>
+
+      where the syntax of "<NSS>" is specified in Section 2.2 of the URN
+      Syntax requirements ([RFC2141]).
+
+      The individual URNs will be assigned by the OIPF through the
+      process of development of OIPF specifications.
+
+   Relevant ancillary documentation:
+
+      None.
+
+   Identifier uniqueness considerations:
+
+      The OIPF will establish unique identifiers as appropriate and will
+      ensure that an assigned string is never reassigned.

+RFC 6893                        OIPF URN                      March 2013
+
+
+   Identifier persistence considerations:
+
+      The OIPF is committed to maintaining the accessibility and
+      persistence of all resources that are officially assigned URNs by
+      the organization.  The registration tables and information will be
+      published and maintained by the OIPF on its website.
+
+   Process of identifier assignment:
+
+      The assignment of identifiers is fully controlled and managed by
+      the OIPF.
+
+   Process of identifier resolution:
+
+      Not applicable; the "oipf" namespace is not listed with a
+      Resolution Discovery System.
+
+   Rules for Lexical Equivalence:
+
+      The "<NSS>" is case-insensitive.
+
+   Conformance with URN Syntax:
+
+      No special considerations.
+
+   Validation mechanism:
+
+      None specified.  URN assignment will be managed completely and
+      published by the OIPF.
+
+   Scope:
+
+      Global
+
+3.  Examples
+
+   The following examples of schemas and classification schemes are
+   taken from the current OIPF Release 1 IPTV Solution specification:
+
+      urn:oipf:device:ig:1
+
+      urn:oipf:config:oitf:oitfCapabilities:2009
+
+      urn:oipf:iptv:IPTVProfile:2008
+
+      urn:oipf:cs:AVMediaFormatCS:2008
+
+      urn:oipf:cs:ApplicationTypeCS:2009

+
+
+4.  Namespace Considerations
+
+   A unique formal namespace is required by the OIPF in order to specify
+   how the various existing standards can be linked in order to create a
+   true end-to-end ecosystem for standards-based IPTV deployments and to
+   provide the necessary system-wide resources.
+
+   URN assignment procedures:
+
+      The individual URNs shall be assigned through the process of
+      development of OIPF specifications by the Open IPTV Forum (OIPF)
+      e.V.  The latest information about OIPF-defined specifications can
+      always be found at the owner's website at
+
+         <http://www.oipf.tv/specifications>
+
+   URN resolution/delegation:
+
+      The resolution and delegation shall be determined through the
+      process of development of specifications by the Open IPTV Forum.
+
+      Since the implementations envisaged cover a wide range of devices
+      with quite different access methods and capabilities, no single
+      resolution or delegation mechanism can be referenced in this
+      document.
+
+   Types of resources to be identified:
+
+      Types of resources to be identified include XML schema definition
+      files, classification schemes, and identification systems defined
+      and published by the OIPF.  These resources being identified
+      constitute a metadata system to describe digital multimedia
+      broadcast services or content conveyed as part of such services.
+
+      The latest OIPF-defined specifications can always be found at
+
+         <http://www.oipf.tv/specifications>
+
+5.  Community Considerations
+
+   URNs defined by the OIPF will be used by implementers of IPTV
+   systems, services, products, and applications based on the OIPF IPTV
+   Solution specification.  They are an essential component of the open
+   IPTV ecosystem that is being facilitated by the OIPF.

+
+
+6.  Security Considerations
+
+   There are no additional security considerations other than those
+   normally associated with the use and resolution of URNs in general,
+   which are described in [RFC1737], [RFC2141], and [RFC3406].
+
+   This document registers a namespace for URNs.  OIPF may assign
+   special meaning to certain characters of the Namespace Specific
+   String (NSS) in its specifications.  Any security considerations
+   resulting from such an assignment is outside the scope of this
+   document.
+
+7.  IANA Considerations
+
+   This document defines a URN NID registration of "oipf".  IANA has
+   included it in the "Uniform Resource Names (URN) Namespaces" registry
+   with a value of 47.
