Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) A. Thomas Request for Comments: 8069 IEEE Category: Informational February 2017 ISSN: 2070-1721 URN Namespace for IEEE Abstract This document describes the Namespace Identifier (NID) 'ieee' for Uniform Resource Names (URNs) used to identify resources published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). IEEE specifies and manages resources that utilize this URN identification model. Management activities for these and other resources types are handled by the manager of the IEEE Registration Authority. Status of This Memo This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Not all documents approved by the IESG are a candidate for any level of Internet Standard; see Section 2 of RFC 7841.

Introduction The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is an organization whose objectives include the educational and technical advancement of electrical and electronic engineering, telecommunications, computer engineering, and allied disciplines. Within IEEE, standardization activities are organized into sponsors, such as the LAN/MAN Standards Committee, and then working groups such as 802.1 and 802.3. See <http://standards.ieee.org>. As part of these specification efforts, there is a need to maintain identifiers in a managed namespace that is unique and persistent. To ensure that this namespace's uniqueness is absolute, a registration of a specific URN Syntax [RFC2141] Namespace Identifier (NID) for use by IEEE is specified in this document, in full conformance with the NID registration process specified in URN Namespace Definition Mechanisms [RFC3406]. 1.1.
