A Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace
for the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
Status of This Memo
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This document describes the Namespace Identifier (NID) for Uniform
Resource Namespace (URN) resources published by the 3rd Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP). 3GPP defines and manages resources that
utilize this URN name model. Management activities for these and
other resource types are provided by the 3GPP Support Team.

RFC 5279 URN Namespace for 3GPP July 2008
1. Introduction
3GPP is a cooperation of international telecommunication standards
bodies developing technologies for cellular networks. This activity
is supported by a membership composed of network operators, equipment
vendors, content providers, and other suppliers to the mobile market.
Some of the technologies being developed by 3GPP need URN namespaces
that are managed so that they are unique and persistent. To assure
that the uniqueness is absolute, the registration of a specific NID
for use by 3GPP was deemed appropriate. Therefore, a full and
complete registration will follow the namespace specification process
as defined in RFC 3406 [RFC3406].
2. URN Specification for the 3GPP Namespace Identifier (NID)
Namespace ID:
3gpp
Registration Information:
registration version number: 1
registration date: 2007-11-16
Declared registrant of the namespace:

Declaration of syntactic structure:
The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs that use the
"3gpp" NID will have the following structure:
urn:3gpp:{3gpp-urn}
Monrad & Loreto Informational [Page 2]
RFC 5279 URN Namespace for 3GPP July 2008
where the "3gpp-urn" is a US-ASCII string that conforms to the
NSS(Namespace Specific String) Syntax described in RFC 2141
[RFC2141] and defines a specific resource type.
Relevant ancillary documentation:
3GPP provides information on registration for each URN. More
information about 3GPP and the registration activities and
procedures to be followed are available at:
http://www.3gpp.org/tb/Other/URN/URN.htm
Identifier uniqueness considerations:
3GPP will manage resources using the "3gpp" NID and will be the
authority for managing the "3gpp-urn" strings. In the associated
procedures, 3GPP will ensure the uniqueness of the strings
themselves or shall permit secondary responsibility for management
of well-defined sub-trees.
3GPP may permit use of experimental type values that will not be
registered. As a consequence, multiple users may end up using the
same value for separate uses. Unregistered type values will only
be allowed in sub-namespaces clearly marked as experimental, to
help implementors avoid "leaking" experimental values into real
use.
Identifier persistence considerations:
3GPP will provide clear documentation of the registered uses of
the "3gpp" NID. This will be structured such that each "3gpp-
