Description
Meeting Minutes from the Reference Information Model (RIM) Subcommittee meeting of February, 26, 2010. At today's meeting, Dave explained Authority Vectors and how the domain (e.g. geopolitical (gp)) and authority structure (e.g. Earth/country/stateOrprovince/county/city) should be the basis for the construction of the Uniform Resource Name (URN), e.g urn:gp:us:NewMexico:Bernalillo:Albuquerque. The idea is to gain an understanding and appreciation of the significance of the Authority Vector concept, the unique authorized naming construction in the URN and the representation of the associated policies in external lists and ontologies. These components together with a supporting infrastructure enable routing of emergency messages in a multi-jurisdictional setting with nonrepudiation (i.e. assured Authenticity, Authorization, Authority and Intent) utilizing the Sender, Recipient and Keyword ValueListURN components of the Distribution Element (DE).
