Title
Information technology — Open Systems Interconnection — Procedures for the operation of OSI Registration Authorities: Generation and registration of Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) and their use as ASN.1 Object Identifier components
International Organization for Standardization
Publication Date:
Dec 15, 2008
Scope:
This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the
format and generation rules that enable users to produce 128-bit
identifiers that are either guaranteed to be globally unique, or
are globally unique with a high probability.
The UUIDs generated in conformance with this Recommendation |
International Standard are suitable either for transient use, with
generation of a new UUID every 100 nanoseconds, or as persistent
identifiers.
This Recommendation | International Standard is derived from
earlier non-standard specifications of UUIDs and their generation,
and is technically identical to those earlier specifications.
This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the
procedures for the operation of a Web-based Registration Authority
for UUIDs.
This Recommendation | International Standard also specifies and
allows the use of UUIDs (registered or not registered) as primary
values (which define Unicode labels) for arcs beneath the Joint
UUID arc. This enables users to generate and use such arcs without
any registration procedures.
This Recommendation | International Standard also specifies and
allows the use of UUIDs (registered or not registered) to form a
URN.
