I think that very few know, since they are making things overcomplicated ;) Afaik (which is not a lot) here you can find the most general way for encoding rfid data: http://www.epcglobalinc.org/standards/tds/ To make the story short the urn scheme is something like this: urn:epc:id:gid:1.1.100 where - epc tells that you are encoding things according to those specs - id means that the urn refers to a pure tag id (there more complex schemes for application dependent data, filters...) - gid: the identity type, says that is a general id, indicating that the following id must not be interpreted for a specific purpose such as a shipping number or a product code - and finally finally the numeric id Therefore in the <id/> element I'd put the EPC urn, and than let the application give it a meaning according to the used encoding -- Fabio Forno, Ph.D. Bluendo srl http://www.bluendo.com jabber id: [email protected]
