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
