A Subregistry for urn:service:sos.police, fire and ambulance
draft-rosen-ecrit-service-urn-subregistries-01
Abstract
In most countries, there are multiple kinds of police forces.
RFC5031 defines a "Service URN" which is used to route emergency
calls. The urn has a sub registry for different kinds of emergency
services that may be reached from different telephone numbers or
service numbers (as opposed to a single number like 112). In many
countries, the "police" service is not a single service, but more
than one service where the service area and/or types of emergencies
they respond to are different. In some countries there are multiple
ambulance services. This document defines sub registries for
urn:service:sos.police, urn:service:sos.ambulance and, for
completeness, urn:service:sos.fire. It also provides an initial set
of entries for these sub registries. These services are in addition
to the base urn:service:sos.police, etc. services.

1. IANA Considerations
1.1. Police Force Types
This document extends the urn:service:sos.police to allow the system
to distinguish law enforcement agencies. The type of law enforcement
agency is a token separated from urn:service.sos.police by a period.
The token names are suggestive of the names for different kinds of
police forces but is not supposed to be the literal name of the
force.
IANA is requested to add a sub registry to the Service URN Labels
under sos Sub-Services entitled sos.police Sub-Services. The
registry should have Service, Description and References as in the
other sub registries for the service urn. The Registration Procedure
is Expert review. The expert shall use the same criteria as the
other urn:service:sos entries. The initial values of the sub
registry are:

1.6. Government services top level entry
IANA is requested to add a new entry to the URN Service Labels
Registry:
+------------+----------------------------------------+-------------+

+------------+----------------------------------------+-------------+
| government | non-emergency services offered by | this |
| | various branches of government | document |
+------------+----------------------------------------+-------------+
Table 6
1.7. Government services sub registry
IANA is requested to create a new 'government Sub-Services' sub
registry in the URN Service Labels registry. The 'government'
service is used for general informational services that provide
residents access and information about government services relevant
to their current location. For example, in the United States and
Canada, 311 is used for this purpose.
Additional sub-services can be added after expert review and must be
of general public interest. The expert is designated by the ECRIT
working group, its successor, or, in their absence, the IESG. The
expert review should only approve government services that are
offered widely and in different countries, with approximately the
same caller expectation in terms of services rendered.
A new entry must specify the service name, description and a
reference similar to other Sub Registries in the URN Service Label
registry. The initial values in this sub registry are:

2. Security Considerations
This document has the same security considerations as those in
[RFC5031].
3. Acknowledgements
Ivo Sedlacek described the problem and attempted to register a
service with a specific police force as distinct from
urn:service:sos.police. This work was inspired by his problem.
