Introduction Globus (https://www.globus.org) is a software-as-a-service provider that develops and operates services and tools for the global research and education community. Globus provides multiple services for users across many institutions, primarily for research driven by high-performance computing. Globus creates unique identifiers that will persist in external systems and must be identifiable as references to Globus entities. To address this need, this document requests that a formal URN space type be assigned as described in Section 4.3 of [RFC3406]. Martin, et al.

Declaration of Syntactic Structure: The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs that use the "globus" NID shall have the following structure: <URN> ::= "urn:" "globus" ":" <NSS> <NSS> ::= <SNID> | <SNID> ":" <subnamespace-specific-string> <SNID> ::= 1*<non-colon-chars> <subnamespace-specific-string> ::= 1*<URN chars> <non-colon-chars> ::= <non-colon-trans> | "%" <hex> <hex> <non-colon-trans> ::= <upper> | <lower> | <number> | <non-colon-other> <non-colon-other> ::= "(" | ")" | "+" | "," | "-" | "." | "=" | "@" | ";" | "$" | "_" | "!" | "*" | "'" The "SNID" is the top-level segment of the NSS.
