URN Namespace for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
Abstract
This document allocates a formal Uniform Resource Name (URN)
namespace for assignment by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization

primarily to uniquely identify Extensible Markup Language (XML)
artefacts that provide information about NATO message text formats
and service specifications as described in various NATO standards,
instructions, and publications.

1. Introduction
Historically, NATO has used standardized character-oriented message
text formats (MTF) to interoperate, report, and exchange information
both among its commands and with national entities, commercial
partners, and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). These MTFs are
generated using the NATO Message Text Formatting System (FORMETS) in
accordance with the rules, constructions, and vocabulary specified
within the Allied Data Publication Number 3 (ADatP-3). Almost 400
NATO-defined messages that conform to ADatP-3 are contained in the
Allied Procedural Publication Number 11 (APP-11) NATO Message
Catalogue [7].
Prior to 2008, these messages were only available as slash-delimited
textual messages. Since 2008, the APP-11 message catalogue also
