Introduction + + This document defines the formal Uniform Resource Name (URN) + Namespace Identifier (NID) for Ad-IDs. + + Ad-ID is the industry standard for identifying advertising assets + across all media platforms (e.g., over the air, online, over the top, + mobile, and place based). Ad-IDs are unique codes for each creative + advertising asset. Those unique codes are applied to all media. + + Ad-IDs are an eleven-character ASCII string except for High + Definition (HD) or Three-Dimensional (3D) codes, which have an H or D + as the 12th character. + + Ad-ID also provides descriptive metadata about the advertisement. + The metadata includes the advertiser, brand, product, commercial + title, product categorization, and other essential data about the + advertisement. The metadata can be retrieved using the unique code. + + See Appendix A for additional background information. + +2. URN Namespace Definition Template + + Using the template in [RFC3406], the namespace definition is as + follows: + + Namespace ID: + + adid + + Registration Information: + + Version 1 + 2016-03-22 + + + + + +Wold Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 8107 Ad-ID URN Namespace Definition March 2017 + + + Declared registrant of the namespace: + + Registering organization: + Advertising Digital Identification, LLC + 11020 David Taylor Drive, Suite 305 + Charlotte, NC 28262-1103 + USA + + Contact: + URL: http://www.ad-id.org/contact + Email: cs@ad-id.org + + Declaration of syntactic structure: + + The identifier structure is an Ad-ID that consists of a unique + eleven-character string or a unique twelve-character string (video + codes only). + + This string is divided into three parts: + + 1. A four-character alphanumeric Company Prefix, not starting with + "0" + 2. A seven-character alphanumeric code + 3. An optional one-character Video Format Identifier. + H - High Definition + D - Three-Dimensional + + The URN representation URN-ADID of an Ad-ID conforms to the + following syntax (expressed using ABNF [RFC5234]): + + URN-ADID = "urn:adid:" full-adid-identifier + full-adid-identifier = + full-adid-prefix full-adid-code [full-adid-suffix] + full-adid-prefix = (ALPHA / %x31-39) 3*alphanum + full-adid-code = 7*alphanum + full-adid-suffix = "H" / "D" + alphanum = ALPHA / DIGIT + + Examples: + + Standard Definition: urn:adid:ABCD0001000 + High Definition: urn:adid:ABCD0001000H + + Relevant ancillary documentation: + + [SMPTERP2092-1] specifies Advertising Digital Identifier (Ad-ID) + representations. + + + + +Wold Informational [Page 3] + +RFC 8107 Ad-ID URN Namespace Definition March 2017 + + + Identifier uniqueness considerations: + + The Registrar (Advertising Digital Identification, LLC) is + responsible for managing the assignment of the Ad-ID and shall + ensure its uniqueness by checking the identifier against the list + of existing identifiers. In addition, each Ad-ID is associated + with a its own unique URN-ADID. + + Ad-ID Registrar has assigned "adid" as a unique identifier. It is + associated with a single URN-ADID. + + Identifier persistence considerations: + + The assignment process guarantees that 'adids' will not be + reassigned or reused, and the binding between the identifier and + its resource is permanent. + + These rules apply to this URN namespace. + + Process of identifier assignment: + + Ad-IDs are generated by the Ad-ID's proprietary registration + procedures. + + Process for identifier resolution: + + Ad-ID URNs are resolved via URN resolvers that are maintained by + the Ad-ID. + + Rules for Lexical Equivalence: + + Lexical equivalence of URN-ADID is defined by case-insensitive + string match. + + Conformance with URN Syntax: + + As specified above, the syntax of URN-ADID is a subset of the URN + syntax specified in [RFC2141]. + + Validation mechanism: + + The validity of a URN-ADID can be checked using Ad-ID's web + services. For more information on Ad-ID's web services, please + refer to the following links: + + http://www.ad-id.org/user-support/faqs/faq-category/web-services + http://www.ad-id.org/ad-id-web-services-api-guide + + + + +Wold Informational [Page 4] + +RFC 8107 Ad-ID URN Namespace Definition March 2017 + + + Scope: + + Ad-IDs are centrally registered, globally unique identifiers of + advertising assets that are used worldwide. + +3. Namespace Considerations + + Ad-IDs are intended for use in Internet applications, where URNs are + routinely used to identify audiovisual resources. There is no direct + mapping from Ad-IDs to existing URN namespaces. + +4. Community Considerations + + The primary registrants of Ad-IDs are advertisers and agencies. Ad- + IDs can be used by anyone to unambiguously identify advertising + assets and retrieve underlying metadata. The primary benefits of its + use are providing greater transparency and accountability in the + advertising marketplace, helping to eliminate costly errors + associated with the inconsistent use of advertising-asset identifiers + throughout the advertising supply chain, and enabling a more granular + audience measurement across multiple platforms. + +5. Security Considerations + + This document specifies the syntax of the Ad-ID URN namespace and + makes no security representations. However, note that failure to + conform to the syntactic and lexical equivalence rules specified in + [RFC3406] when using an Ad-ID as a criterion for accessing restricted + resources can result in granting unauthorized access. + +6.
