>> Abstract
>>
>>    This document describes a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace for
>>    the Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB) for naming persistent
>>    resources as part of the DVB standards.  Example resources include
>>    technical documents and specifications, eXtensible Markup Language
>>    (XML) Schemas, classification schemes, XML Document Type Definitions
>>    (DTDs), namespaces, style sheets, media assets, and other types of
>>    resources produced or managed by DVB.
>>
>> 1.  Introduction
>>
>>    The Digital  Video Broadcasting  Project (DVB)  is an  industry-led
>>    consortium  of  over   270  broadcasters,  manufacturers,   network
>>    operators, software developers,  regulatory bodies  and  others  in
>>    over  35 countries  committed  to  designing global  standards  for
>>    the global   delivery of   digital television   and  data services.
>>    Services using DVB standards are available on every continent  with
>>    more  than  110  million  DVB  receivers  deployed.  For    country
>>    -by-country information you can visit the section on DVB Worldwide.
>>
>>    DVB would like to assign unique, permanent, location-independent
>>    names based on URNs for some resources it produces or manages.
>>
>>    This namespace specification is for a formal namespace.

>>    Declaration of structure:
>>
>>       URNs assigned by DVB will have the following hierarchical
>>       structure based on the organizational structure of the DVB
>>       standards:
>>
>>          urn:dvb:{standard name}:{assigned US-ASCII string}
>>
>>       where "{standard name}" is a US-ASCII string that conforms to URN
>>       Syntax requirements ([RFC2141]) and corresponds to the name of an
>>       DVB standard such as "ipdc", "ipi", and
>>
>>       "{assigned US-ASCII string}" is a US-ASCII string that conforms to
>>       URN Syntax requirements ([RFC2141]).
>>
>>       The individual URNs shall be assigned by DVB through the process
>>       of development of DVB standards.
>>
>>    Relevant ancillary documentation:
>>
>>       None
>>
>>    Identifier uniqueness considerations:
>>
>>       DVB shall establish unique identifiers as appropriate.

>>
>>
>>       Uniqueness is guaranteed as long as the assigned string is never
>>       reassigned for a given standard name and that the standard name is
>>       never reassigned.
>>
>>    Identifier persistence considerations:
>>
>>       DVB is committed to maintaining the accessibility and persistence
>>       of all resources that are officially assigned URNs by the
>>       organization.
>>
>>       Persistence of identifiers is dependent upon suitable delegation
>>       of resolution at the level of "standard name"(s), and persistence
>>       of standard name assignment.
>>
>>    Process of identifier assignment:
>>
>>       Assignment is limited to the owner and those authorities that are
>>       specifically designated by the owner.  DVB may designate portions
>>       of its namespace for assignment by other parties.
>>
>>    Process of identifier resolution:
>>
>>       The owner will develop and maintain "URN catalogs" that map all
>>       assigned URNs to Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) specifically to
>>       enable Web-based resolution of named resources.  In the future an
>>       interactive online resolution system may be developed to automate
>>       this process.
>>
>>       The owner will authorize additional resolution services as
>>       appropriate.
>>
>>    Rules for Lexical Equivalence:
>>
>>       The "standard name" is case-insensitive.  Thus, the portion of the
>>       URN:
>>
>>          urn:dvb:{standard name}:
>>
>>       is case-insensitive for matches.  The remainder of the identifier
>>       must be considered case-sensitive.
>>
>>    Conformance with URN Syntax:
>>
>>       No special considerations.
>>
>>    Validation mechanism:
>>
>>       None specified.  The owner will develop and maintain URN catalogs.

>>       The presence of a URN in a catalog indicates that it is valid.

>>    The following examples are not guaranteed to be real.  They are

>>       urn:dvb:ipdc:cs:ZappingTypeCS:2001
>>
>> 4.  Namespace Considerations
>>
>>    URN assignment procedures:
>>
>>       The individual  URNs shall  be assigned  through the  process of
>>       development of DVB standards  by the Digital Video  Broadcasting
>>       Project (DVB).
>>
>>    URN resolution/delegation:
>>        The resolution and delegation  shall be determined through  the
>>        process  of  development   of DVB   standards  by   the Digital
>>        Video Broadcasting Project (DVB).
>>
>>    Type of resources to be identified:
>>
>>       Types of resources to be identified include XML schema definition
>>       files, classification schemes, identification systems.
>>
>>    Type of services to be supported:
>>
>>       Types of services supported include controlled term lookup in
>>       classification schemes, resolution of ids in identification
>>       systems.

>> 5.  Community Considerations
>>
>>    Open assignment and use of identifiers within the namespace:
>>
>>       With on-going development of DVB standards, DVB shall establish
>>       requirements for assignment and use of identifiers within DVB
>>       namespace.
>>
>>    Open operation of resolution servers for the namespace (server):
>>
>>       With on-going development of DVB standards, DVB shall establish
>>       requirements and seek candidates for operating resolution servers
>>       as appropriate.
>>
>>    Creation of software that can meaningfully resolve and access
>>    services for the namespace (client):
>>
>>       With on-going development of DVB standards, DVB members will
>> develop
>>       software implementations of its standards.
>>
>> 6.  Security Considerations
>>
>>    There are no additional security considerations other than those
>>    normally associated with the use and resolution of URNs in general.
>>
>> 7.  IANA Considerations
>>
>>    The IANA has registered formal URN namespace XXX, to DVB within the
>>    IANA registry of URN NIDs.
>>
>> 8.  Normative References
