[urn] URN registration request for SCTE

[Gary Hughes <[e-mail]>]

The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE), an
ANSI-accredited SDO, is requesting fast track registration for the 'scte'
namespace identifier. The completed template follows.

IETF URN Registration for SCTE



*Namespace Identifier*:

scte



*Version*:

1

*Date*:*.*

2019-08-19



*Registrant*:



The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) standards program
is an ANSI-accredited Standards Development Organization for the
development of technical specifications supporting cable
telecommunications.  SCTE standards work includes: data and telephony over
cable; application platform development; digital video; emergency alert
systems; network monitoring systems; cables, connectors and amplifiers;
construction and maintenance practices;  energy management, and more.

*Purpose*:*.*

Occasionally, SCTE specification efforts require identifiers in a managed
namespace so that they are unique and persistent.  To ensure that the
uniqueness is absolute, the registration of a specific Uniform Resource
Name (URN) Namespace Identifier (NID) for use by SCTE is being specified in
RFC8141, in full conformance with the NID registration process specified in
RFC8141 [RFC8141]



When SCTE specifications require the use of data models, URN Namespaces are
key constructs to manage the definitions of those data models reliably with
persistence and uniqueness.



The use of URNs should also help specification authors to maintain
different versions of URNs and dependencies between URNs across different
versions of SCTE specifications if they so wish.



*Syntax*:



The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs that use the "scte" NID
will have the following structure:



         urn:scte:{SCTEresource}:{ResourceSpecificString}



where the "SCTEresource" is a US-ASCII string that conforms to the URN
syntax requirements of [RFC8141].



SCTE publishes information regarding the registered resources in the
corresponding SCTE standards. The “SCTEresource” may be used to identify
the SCTE standard or the project which defined the URN. The
“ResourceSpecificString” specifies the name and optionally the edition
(year) of the standard that first defined the URN.



For example:

urn:scte:dash:essential-event:2015

Event essentiality, first defined in the 2015 edition of the SCTE DASH
specifications



urn:scte:scte35:2013:xml

XML representation of SCTE 35 commands, first defined in the 2013 edition
of ANSI/SCTE 35



Published SCTE standards are freely downloadable from the SCTE web site at:
https://www.scte.org/SCTE/Standards/Download_SCTE_Standards.aspx.



*Assignment**: *

SCTE will maintain a naming authority, the SCTE Assigned Names and Numbers
[SANN] specification, that will contain the assignment of SCTE resource
classes and the specific registration values assigned for each resource
class.  This specification will be published on the SCTE Standards Program
website (
https://www.scte.org/SCTE/Standards/SCTE_Assigned_Names_and_Numbers_specification.aspx)
and updated as needed.



The SANN specification will only document URNs defined in SCTE standards.



*Security and Privacy*:

There are no additional security considerations other than those normally
associated with the use and resolution of URNs in general, which are
described in [RFC8141].

*Interoperability**: *

SCTE standards are referenced by other SDOs and industry groups. Formally
registering the “scte” NID will help ensure that collisions do not occur.

*Resolution*:

The namespace is not listed with a resolution discovery system; this is not
applicable for this URN registration.

*Documentation*:



The SCTE Assigned Names and Numbers [SANN] specification will describe the
use of “scte” namespace and procedures for requesting assignment of new
resources and values in that namespace. This will be available at
https://www.scte.org/SCTE/Standards/SCTE_Assigned_Names_and_Numbers_specification.aspx



*Additional Information*:

Participants involved in the development and usage of SCTE specifications
and cable industry deployments will benefit from the publication of this
namespace by providing consistent and reliable   names for the XML
namespaces, schema locations, and similar identifiers of physical data
models published within SCTE specifications.

The SCTE specifications are publicly available and are licensed to
manufacturers on a nondiscriminatory basis.  SCTE will maintain the
corresponding specifications where the registered resources are referenced
or used.
