YANG Schema Item iDentifier (SID)
draft-ietf-core-sid-01
Abstract
YANG Schema Item iDentifiers (SID) are globally unique 64-bit numeric
identifiers used to identify all items used in YANG. This document
defines the semantics, the registration, and assignment processes of
SIDs. To enable the implementation of these processes, this document
also defines a file format used to persist and publish assigned SIDs.

1. Introduction
Some of the items defined in YANG [RFC7950] require the use of a
unique identifier. In both NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040],
these identifiers are implemented using names. To allow the
implementation of data models defined in YANG in constrained devices
and constrained networks, a more compact method to identify YANG
items is required. This compact identifier, called SID, is encoded
using a 64-bit unsigned integer. The following items are identified
using SIDs:
o identities
o data nodes
o RPCs and associated input(s) and output(s)
o actions and associated input(s) and output(s)
o notifications and associated information
