Geospatial Information Working Group (DGIWG). The DGIWG defines and
manages resources that utilize this URN name model.
Management activities for these and other resource types are provided
by the DGIWG Registry System (DRS).

1. Introduction
The DGIWG is a multi-national body responsible to the Defence
organizations of member nations for coordinated advice and policy
recommendations on standards and practices for geospatial information
and support services. The DGIWG creates standards and recommended
practices required to enable the provision, exchange, and
exploitation of geospatial information. It supports the requirements
of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the other
alliances that its member nations participate in, including
peacekeeping sanctioned by the United Nations.
The DGIWG has defined, and continues to define, standards, processes,
and procedures for the use of international standards in the DGIWG
community.

RFC 6288 URN DGIWG Namespace August 2011
The DGIWG geospatial standards are built upon the generic and
abstract standards for geographic information defined by the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) TC/211 technical
committee. The DGIWG makes use of the service specifications
endorsed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).
The DGIWG defines information components for use in the development
of product specifications and application schemas for military
geospatial data. The DGIWG also establishes service specifications,
encoding formats, and testing methodologies to meet military
geospatial intelligence requirements.
Some of the solutions being developed by the DGIWG need XML
namespaces that are managed so that they are unique and persistent.
To assure that the uniqueness is absolute, the registration of a
