Joel -
Have you looked at http://urn.opengis.net/ ? This reference is in the draft
I am working with but I cannot remember if it was included in the .02 draft
:-(
This URL will be permanent and the referenced controlled using an OGC
process for URN governance.
Regards
Carl

Subject: Re: IETF LC review: draft-creed-ogc-urn-02.txt
have been selected as the General Area Review Team (Gen-ART)
reviewer for this draft (for background on Gen-ART, please see

Please resolve these comments along with any other Last Call comments
you may receive.
Document: A URN namespace for the Open Geospatial Consortium
Reviewer: Joel M. Halpern
Review Date: 13-Oct-2007
IETF LC End Date: 22-Oct-2007
IESG Telechat date: (if known) N/A
Summary: This document is nearly ready for publication as an Informational
RFC. The following comment
should be considered before publication.
Comments:
The document provides a clear description of the reason and basis for the
registration.
I am concerned that the document does not seem to provide a stable
reference for how a user would
find the list of defined OGC resources and the Resource Specific Strings.
The description of the OGC process points to a Wiki page, and is merely an
introduction. (As a minor note, if this reference is to be published in
this RFC, then the OGC should plan on maintaining an informational page or
link at that location even if the Wiki is restructured.)
There is a description of a beta version of a resolver to provide the
registry. As this is Beta, it is not clear if that is the stable and
intended fashion for a user to examine the registry.
So, while the document says that "The registration tables and information
will be published and maintain by ONA on the OGC web site." I am concerned
that this is not enough information.
Note, as a reviewer who does not live in the URN world on a day-to-day
basis, it is possible that I am asking too much of the registration. But
usually IANA tables are supposed to be such that an outside user can find
the registered values from the pointers at IANA.
