(I notice that the URN drafts call these "namespaces" rather than
"schemes", so we will have to be careful to distinguish XML namespaces
from URN namespaces.)
At www.ietf.org, I find the following:
1. http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-urn-nid-req-08.txt
This document lists the requirements for registering a URN
namespace.
2. http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-urn-ietf-09.txt
This document proposes the IETF namespace for RFDs, etc.
3. http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-urn-net-procedures-02.txt
This document proposes a mechanism for using DNS to obtain
resolution hints for URNs.
4. http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-urn-dns-rds-00.txt
More on DNS and URN resolution..
5. http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-urn-naptr-rr-02.txt
More on DNS and URN resolution.
Am I missing some other documents? As far as I can see, the only URN
namespace that is proposed in an IETF draft is the IETF namespace, and
I cannot use a URN in the IETF URN namespace to create my own XML
namespace.
Where can I find the IETF draft documents describing URN namespaces
built on DNS, ISBN, UUIDs, etc.? Perhaps I just haven't looked in the
right place.
Thanks, and all the best,
David
