SMPTE 298M: for Television - Universal Labels for Unique Identification of Digital Data

This standard defines universal labels, a universal labeling mechanism to be used in identifying the type and encoding of data within a general-purpose data stream. The labeling mechanism is intended to function across all types of digital communications protocols and message structures, allowing the intermixture of data of any sort. Labels created using the mechanism specified are intended to be attached to the data they identify and to travel together with them through communications channels This standard defines universal labels that can be used by an organization that wishes to label data in a manner that is universally unambiguous, globally unique, and traceable to the authorizing organization.

The Handle System

A Handle is a name used to identify items and other Internet resources. The Handle System is a distributed computer system which stores these names and provides the information that is needed to locate and access these items. The system ensures that handles are unique and that they can be retained over long time periods.

ISO Formal Public Identifiers as a URN Namespace

Formal Public Identifiers (FPIs) are widely used in the SGML world to identify documents or portions of them. Because of the commitment organizations like mine have to SGML, and because of the potential for wider use of SGML on the web, the question of how to deal with FPIs as a URN scheme has arisen. This document outlines how we might be able to interoperate between FPIs and URNs. It is based on the DELEGATEing catalogs work of James Tauber, as well as on the NAPTR URN resolution proposal of Michael Mealling and Ron Daniel.
