Adding IVY (network inventory).
For the network inventory and hardware YANG models, UUID is used (per RFC 6991 
and RFC 4122), which does not prescribe a structure but does not preclude it 
either.  (See e.g. RFC 8348 or 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-ccamp-network-inventory-yang-02)

Subject: [OPSAWG] OPSAWG: Examples for IDevID "identifier" field formats 
(X520SerialNumber or the like)

Dear OPSAWG,

I am looking for concrete examples of device certificates, specifically the 
format of any "identifier" field that is uniquely identifying the device, such 
as the X520SerialNumber field.

I was hoping this WG would actually have folks who can look at real equipment 
for example ;-))

I have found no good examples in RFCs. I hope / suspect that some vendors would 
use a more structured format, such as X520SerialNumber = "PID:ANI-SDEV-7X9 
SN:FBC1234X97A", e.g.:
contatenation of device type and actual serial number.

If you are aware of any specific standards or other recommendations as to the 
format of such a field, i welcome points (e.g.: OPC UA has one for their own 
ProductInstanceUri, but its not clear to me if this is being adopted in 
reality).

Thank you so much
    Toerless

P.S.: reason for asking: In ANIMA/BRSKI, we have the case where we need to use 
network discovery to find devices based on such information, and we're 
pondering if/how well enough the information is cross-product-family and 
cross-vendor unique enough, and/or how much we need to think of further 
qualification.
