6. Defining and Registering a URN Namespace

This chapter describes the process and requirements for defining and registering a URN namespace. Because the space of URN namespaces is itself managed, the definition of a URN namespace should pay particular attention to ensuring global uniqueness, persistence, and consistency.

URN namespace registration is divided into two main types:

  • Community Registration: For formal URN namespaces
  • Fast Track: Simplified registration process

This chapter details each section of the registration template and its requirements.
