This also relates to what target namespace we use for our schema. I know that OASIS has a URN namespace (RFC 3121): urn:oasis: At one point the OASIS TC guidelines suggested every TC use a base namepsace, formed like: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0: urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0: But the TC guidelines [1] no longer say anything about namespaces. Tim's naming guidelines were to use an http URL. There was a brief discussion on this [2]: Tim: """ - Do we want to use URNs? I am hoping (perhaps with little justification) that OASIS will solve the problem of names that cannot be dereferenced to the object. If this happens, then we would want to have names that look like URLs. If it doesn't happen, then names that are URLs look pretty silly. """ Does anyone know if OASIS is moving to solve this problem? Anyways, right now for our schema we're using: http://www.oasis-open.org/tc/DSS/1.0/core/schema And for identifiers, we could do something like: http://www.oasis-open.org/tc/DSS/1.0/name-format#EmailAddress http://www.oasis-open.org/tc/DSS/1.0/name-format#X509SubjectName Or we could switch to URNs for everything: urn:oasis:names:tc:DSS:1.0:core:schema urn:oasis:names:tc:DSS:1.0:name-format:EmailAddress urn:oasis:names:tc:DSS:1.0:name-format:X509SubjectName I have no clue which is better, or what the official word is...
