A registration service provides an unambiguous
organization identifier. The service conforms to ITU X.660|ISO/IEC 9834-1,
which describes a hierarchy of registration authorities. Information objects
are unambiguously identified by constructed names composed of one component
from each level of the Registration Authority hierarchy under which the
information object is registered. This name is unique, since each component
along the path through the hierarchy from the root to the registered object is
guaranteed to be unique within the scope of the Registration Authority
assigning that name component. The ANSI organization name registration service
assigns one name component. ANSI maintains a database that is searched with
every new registration request to ensure that duplicate identifiers are never
registered.
A formal procedure has been developed within ANSI to
administer this process. These procedures specify the syntax of names assigned
by this Registration Authority, describe the way in which applications for
Organization names are handled, including mechanisms for assuring the assigning
of unique names at this level in the hierarchy, and provide for the assignment
of Organization names. The procedure is available from the Registration
Coordinator
