Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) P. Lemieux Request for Comments: 7302 Sandflow Consulting LLC Category: Informational July 2014 ISSN: 2070-1721 Entertainment Identifier Registry (EIDR) URN Namespace Definition Abstract Entertainment Identifier Registry (EIDR) Identifiers are used for the globally unique identification of motion picture and television content. This document defines the formal Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace Identifier (NID) for EIDR Identifiers. Status of This Memo This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.

It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Not all documents approved by the IESG are a candidate for any level of Internet Standard; see Section 2 of RFC 5741.

Lemieux Informational [Page 1] RFC 7302 EIDR URN Namespace Definition July 2014 1. Introduction This document defines the formal Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace Identifier (NID) for EIDR Identifiers. EIDR Identifiers are centrally registered, globally unique identifiers for audiovisual works and their variants, primarily film and television. A unique set of metadata parameters describing the associated work is bound to the EIDR Identifier at the time of registration. EIDR Identifiers are a special kind of DOI Names allocated by EIDR Association specifically for audiovisual works. The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system provides an infrastructure for persistent unique identification of objects of any type and is specified in [ISO26234]. A DOI name is the identifier that is permanently assigned to an object. The use of DOI Names ensures persistence, global uniqueness, and an open resolution infrastructure. As a DOI Name, an EIDR Identifier has two components: a prefix assigned exclusively to EIDR Association by the DOI Registration Authority and a suffix defined by EIDR Association. Currently, EIDR Identifiers use the prefix "10.5240", but additional prefixes might be introduced in the future. The following is an example of an EIDR Identifier in its canonical representation: 10.5240/7791-8534-2C23-9030-8610-5 where "10.5240" is the prefix and "7791-8534-2C23-9030-8610-5" is the suffix. The canonical URN representation of the same EIDR Identifier is: urn:eidr:10.5240:7791-8534-2C23-9030-8610-5 Note that ":" is used as separator between prefix and suffix since "/" is a URN reserved character. [EIDR-OVERVIEW] and [EIDR-INTRO] provide additional background information. Lemieux Informational [Page 2] RFC 7302 EIDR URN Namespace Definition July 2014 2.
