Uniform Resource Names for Device Identifiers
draft-ietf-core-dev-urn-02
Abstract
This memo describes a new Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace for
hardware device identifiers. A general representation of device
identity can be useful in many applications, such as in sensor data
streams and storage, or equipment inventories. A URN-based
representation can be easily passed along in any application that
needs the information.
