Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) B. Rosen Request for Comments: 6061 NeuStar Category: Informational January 2011 ISSN: 2070-1721 Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace for the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) Abstract This document describes the Namespace Identifier (NID) "nena" for Uniform Resource Name (URN) resources published by the National Emergency Number Association (NENA). NENA defines and manages resources that utilize this URN model. Management activities for these and other resource types are provided by the NENA Registry System (NRS).

Introduction The National Emergency Number Association (NENA) is currently in the process of setting standards, processes, and procedures for the use of an IP-based Emergency Services IP Network (ESInet) for all public safety entities in North America. Some of the solutions being developed by NENA require XML namespaces that are managed so that they are unique and persistent. To assure that the uniqueness is absolute, the registration of a specific Uniform Resource Name (URN) [RFC2141] Namespace ID (NID) for use by NENA is required. This document defines and registers such a namespace in accordance with [RFC3406]. 2. URN Specification for "nena" NID Namespace ID: nena Registration information: registration version number: 1 registration date: 2010-10-13 Declared registrant of the namespace: Registering organization Name: National Emergency Number Association (NENA) Address: 4350 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 750 Arlington, VA 22203-1695 Designated contact: Role: NENA Registry Services Administrator Email: nrs-admin@nena.org Rosen Informational [Page 2] RFC 6061 URN nena Namespace January 2011 Declaration of syntactic structure: The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs that use the "nena" NID will have the following structure: {NENAclass}:{ClassSpecificString} The "NENAclass" conforms to the URN syntax requirements [RFC2141] and defines a specific class of resource type. Each class will have a specific labeling scheme that is covered by "ClassSpecificString", which also conforms to the naming requirements of [RFC2141]. NENA maintains a naming authority, the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) Registry System (NRS), that will manage theShow full document text
