"Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Part Five: URI.ARPA Assignment Procedures", Michael Mealling, 07-May-02. (2202 bytes)

RFCYYYY defines a how DNS is used as a DDDS database that contains URI delegation rules (sometimes called resolution hints). That document specifies that the first step in that algorithm is to append 'URI.ARPA' to the URI scheme and retrieve the NAPTR record for that domain-name. I.e., the first step in resolving 'http://foo.com/' would be to look up a NAPTR record for the domain 'http.URI.ARPA'. URN resolution also follows a similar procedure but uses the 'URN.ARPA' zone as its root. This document describes the procedures for inserting a new rule into the 'URI.ARPA' and 'URN.ARPA' zones.

"Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS)Part Two: The Algorithm", Michael Mealling, 07-May-02. (2629 bytes)

This document describes the Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) algorithm for applying dynamically retrieved string transformation rules to an application-unique string. Well-formed transformation rules will reflect the delegation of management of information associated with the string. This document is also part of a series that is completely specified in 'Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Part One: The Comprehensive DDDS Standard' (RFC WWWW). It is very important to note that it is impossible to read and understand any document in this series without reading the others.

" Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Part Three: The DNS Database", Michael Mealling, 07-May-02. (2755 bytes)

This document describes a Dynamic Delegation Discovery System Database using the Domain Name System as a distributed database of Rules. The Keys are domain-names and the Rules are encoded using the NAPTR Resource Record. Since this document obsoletes RFC 2915, it is the official specification for the NAPTR DNS Resource Record. It is also part of a series that is completely specified in 'Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Part One: The Comprehensive DDDS Standard' (RFC WWWW). It is very important to note that it is impossible to read and understand any document in this series without reading the others.

"Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Part Four: The URI Resolution Application", Michael Mealling, 07-May-02. (2680 bytes)

A specification for taking a URI and locating an authoritative server for information about that URI. The method used to locate that authoritative server is the Dynamic Delegation Discovery System. This document is part of a series that is specified in 'Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Part One: The Comprehensive DDDS Standard' (RFC WWWW). It is very important to note that it is impossible to read and understand any document in this series without reading the others.

"URN Namespace Definition Mechanisms", Leslie Daigle, Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Renato Iannella, Patrik Faltstrom, 15-Jan-02. (2531 bytes)

The URN WG has defined a syntax for Uniform Resource Names (URNs) [RFC2141], as well as some proposed mechanisms for their resolution and use in Internet applications ([RFCXXXX], [RFCYYYY]). The whole rests on the concept of individual 'namespaces' within the URN structure. Apart from proof-of-concept namespaces, the use of existing identifiers in URNs has been discussed ([RFC2288]), and this document lays out general definitions of and mechanisms for establishing URN 'namespaces'. This document obsoletes RFC2611. Discussion of this document should be directed to urn-ietf@ietf.org

"Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Part One: The Comprehensive DDDS Standard", Michael Mealling, 07-May-02. (2214 bytes)

This document specifies the exact documents that make up the complete Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) standard. The DDDS is an abstract algorithm for applying dynamically retrieved string transformation rules to an application-unique string. This document along with RFC XXXX, RFC YYYY and RFC ZZZZ obsolete RFC 2168 [8] and RFC 2915 [6] as well as update RFC 2276 [5].
