ITU-T X.672 (08/2010)

عربي | 中文 | English | Español | Français | Русский
Information technology - Open systems interconnection - Object identifier resolution system (ORS)
This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the object identifier (OID) resolution system (ORS). This enables (arbitrary) information to be associated with any ORS-supported OID node (of the international object identifier tree defined in Rec. ITU-T X.660 | ISO/IEC 9834-1). This associated information is identified by an application specification that may have a requirement for instances of that application (running on any computer system) to obtain the associated information by an ORS search, using an ASN.1 OID-IRI value to identify the node.Currently defined application information for a node includes the canonical form of an international object identifier, child node information, registration information about the owner of the node, a reference to an ASN.1 module identified by the node, information supporting tag-based applications, and information supporting cybersecurity.

Name of ORS service Service type value Specification of the service
URI UINF See below
ID registry LINF See below

Specification of the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) ORS service

All DNS zone files for an ORS-supported OID node shall contain a NAPTR resource record (see 6.3.2 of Recommendation ITU-T X.672 | ISO/IEC 29168-1) with ORS service type UINF and with the regular expression information containing a URI which indicates a service point for various service actions.

Any URI scheme which is officially registered to IANA can be used in the regular expression information.

Specification of the ID registry ORS service

All DNS zone files for an ORS-supported OID node shall contain a NAPTR resource record (see 6.3.2 of Recommendation ITU-T X.672 | ISO/IEC 29168-1) with ORS service type LINF and with the regular expression information containing a locator which indicates an IP address of ID registry which is defined in ITU-T X.675.
