URN Namespace for MEF Documents
Abstract
This document describes the Namespace Identifier (NID) "mef" for
Uniform Resource Names (URNs) used to identify resources published by
MEF Forum (https://www.mef.net). MEF specifies and manages resources
that utilize this URN identification model. Management activities
for these and other resources types are handled by the manager of the
MEF Assigned Names and Numbers (MANN) registry.

1. Introduction
The MEF Forum (MEF) is a nonprofit international industry standards
organization dedicated to the worldwide adoption of Carrier Ethernet
(CE) networks and services. The forum creates specifications in the
areas of Services, Architecture, and Operations and Management.
As part of these specifications efforts, there is a need to identify
identifiers in a managed namespace that are unique and persistent.
To ensure that this namespace's uniqueness is absolute, a
registration of a specific URN Syntax [RFC2141] Namespace Identifier
(NID) for use by MEF is being specified in this document.
