Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) C. Reed Request for Comments: 6288 OGC Category: Informational August 2011 ISSN: 2070-1721 URN Namespace for the Defence Geospatial Information Working Group (DGIWG) Abstract This document describes the Namespace Identifier (NID) for Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace resources published by the Defence 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). Status of This Memo This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.

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. Reed Informational [Page 2] 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 specific Namespace ID (NID) for use by the DGIWG was deemed appropriate. Therefore, a full and complete registration will follow the namespace specification process as defined in [RFC3406]. For theShow full document text
