Abstract

   This document describes a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace that
   is engineered by a consortium (general contractor, Olimps LTD, and
   subcontractors, ABC software LTD, Microsoft Latvia LTD, Riga Internet
   eXchange (RIX) Technologies LTD, and Microlink LTD) for naming
   information resources published and produced by the Latvian National
   Government Integration Project (Latvian abbreviation IVIS).

RFC 4617                  IVIS URN Definition                August 2006

1.  Introduction

   The IVIS uses and produces many kinds of information resources such
   as E-services, E-service instances, specifications, standards,
   working documents, and XML schemas.  An ID in IVIS has to be unique
   for global use every time.

2.  Specification Template

   Namespace ID:

      "IVIS" requested according to [RFC3406].

   Registration information:

      Registration Version Number: 1
      Registration Date: 2006-MM-DD

   Declared registrant of the namespace:

   Organization: ABC software LTD on behalf of The Secretariat of the
      Special Assignments Minister for Electronic Government Affairs
   Name: Jurijs Kornijenko
   Title: Software Architect
   Address: Tallinas - 51, Riga, LV-1012
   Phone: +371 7082635
   Email: j.kornienko@abcsoftware.lv

   Declaration of structure:

      The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs assigned by the
      IVIS will have the following hierarchical structure (ABNF,
      according to [RFC4234]):

<NID> ::= "IVIS"

<NSS>            ::= <IVIS Org ID>:<ResID - suffix>

<IVIS Org ID>    ::= 1*<number>    { subsystem ID from IVIS database}

<ResID - suffix> ::= 1*(<upper> | <lower> | <number> | <other>)
{an ID generated by IVIS subsystem that is unique within
this subsystem}

RFC 4617                  IVIS URN Definition                August 2006

<other>          ::= "(" | ")" | "+" | "," | "-" | "." |
                     "=" | "@" | ";" | "$" |
                     "_" | "!" | "*"

<upper>          ::= "A" | "B" | "C" | "D" | "E" | "F" | "G" | "H" |
                     "I" | "J" | "K" | "L" | "M" | "N" | "O" | "P" |
                     "Q" | "R" | "S" | "T" | "U" | "V" | "W" | "X" |
                     "Y" | "Z"

                     "i" | "j" | "k" | "l" | "m" | "n" | "o" | "p" |
                     "q" | "r" | "s" | "t" | "u" | "v" | "w" | "x" |
                     "y" | "z"

                     "8" | "9"

   Relevant ancillary documentation:

      IVIS ancillary documentation is under development.

   Identifier uniqueness considerations:

      Uniqueness is guaranteed by the IVIS that issues the numbers.  The
      numbers are not reassigned.

   Identifier persistence considerations:

      Persistence of identifiers is dependent upon the persistence of
      the system name assignment by system name holders.

   Process of identifier assignment:

      All the assignments of identifiers are fully controlled and
      managed by the IVIS and its subsystems.

   Process of identifier resolution:

      The holders of system names are responsible for operating or
      delegating resolution servers for the system in which they have
      assigned URNs.

   Rules for Lexical Equivalence:

      The entire URN is case insensitive.
