Group.

Technical Summary

The document defines a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace, to express device 
URN-based identifiers for HW devices. Relevant target applications are sensor 
data streams and storage, smart object systems, and equipment inventories. The 
device URN is recommended especially for constrained environments.

On top of the "DEV" URN identifier type and its hierarchically structured 
syntax, the document defines a number of subtypes, as affecting the exact 
identifier assignment. Defined subtypes support device URNs that reflect: 
built-in EUI-64, MAC-48 and EUI-48 MAC addresses; 1-Wire proprietary 
identifiers; organization-specific identifiers, possibly including product 
class and serial number.


Working Group Summary and Document Quality

The document has been discussed on multiple IETF meetings, and has gone through 
multiple expert reviews. Consensus has been reached on the content of this 
document and its need.  This document is expected to be referenced by other 
organizations.
