+
+1. 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

+ Advertising Digital Identification, LLC

+
+ 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

+ [SMPTERP2092-1] specifies Advertising Digital Identifier (Ad-ID)
+ representations.

+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:

+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. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document defines "ad-id" in the "Formal URN Namespaces"
+ registry.

+Appendix A. Additional Background Information
+
+ 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 may have Complimentary Definition Codes (CDCs), which are
+ matching SD, HD, and/or 3D codes where only the 12th character of the
+ code varies. This only applies to video codes.
+
+ For example, a video with a standard format and high-definition
+ format would have a single code for each format.
+
+ Standard: ABCD1234000
+ High Definition: ABCD1234000H
