6.4.3. Assignment

This section describes how URNs are assigned within the namespace. It needs to explain:

  1. Assignment authority: Who is responsible for assigning URNs
  2. Assignment process: How to apply for and obtain a URN
  3. Assignment policy: Centralized or distributed assignment
  4. Uniqueness guarantee: How to ensure each URN is assigned only once
  5. Persistence commitment: How to guarantee long-term validity of URNs

The assignment process should be clear, executable, and ensure uniqueness and persistence of URNs.
