- Motivation
Object identifiers (OIDs) are widely used in the telecommunications and computing sectors to uniquely identify objects, concepts and things. Typically this includes encryption algorithms, attributes and fields within computer network protocols, hardware equipment operating on networks and some objects/concepts in the health sector. These identifiers are standardized at the top level by the ITU and ISO/IEC, with registered authorities responsible for standardizing and maintaining sub-elements of the tree of identifiers. See en:Object identifier for more detailed information and examples of usage. Pixeldomain (talk) 04:36, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
- Discussion
Support. Though this needs a more specific name, perhaps "ICU/ISO/IEC object identifier"? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:01, 24 February 2017 (UTC)- Support. This looks like a very useful property to help us keep these entities clear.YULdigitalpreservation (talk) 13:18, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
