  2. How do I get hold of an OID? Abstract root CCITT (0) joint-ISO-CCITT (2) ISO (1) country (16) identified organization (3) registration authority (1) standard (0) country (16) X.500 identifiers numeric country code in ISO 3166 ICD in ISO 6523 numeric country code in ISO 3166 number of ISO standard US (840) DOD (6) CA (124) US (840) CA (124) WHO Organizations (1) SomeOrg (123456) SomeOrg (123456) Internet (1) Nortel (113533) Netscape (113730) CDC (114222) HL7 (113883) YOU (123) YOU (987) ..just ask any organization that already has one.. SomeOrg (123456) ..or the ‘approved’/’assigned’ authority for your context.. YOU (234)

  3. Assigning OIDs Abstract root ISO (1) country (16) US (840) SomeOrg (123456) YOU (876) Codesets (2) ID Schemes (3) Other Orgs (1) ICD-10 (1) SomeOtherOrg (1100) My Practicioner ID (1) Dr. Smith (373) Rule #1: never assign 1 OID to multiple semantic concepts or objects

  4. OIDs are meaningless identifiers An OID, like a UUID, is a MEANINGLESS IDENTIFIER: • Any appearance of internal structure is for administrative simplicity only • The identifier is not parsed, it is treated as if it were a non-interpretable string of numbers like a GUID • It may be used to look up information in an OID registry • There is no intrinsic semantic difference between an OIDlike 2.16.840.1.113883.3.46.17.111 and a UUID like 19809563-2181-11D6-834A-00B0D06C03A6 • Right now, it is a bit more convenient to enter the OID without careless human error when registering • It is easier for the manual cleanup and checkout process to work with the OID format

  5. Persistence of IDs • Each and every ID is a tuple of (OID based root, and extension) • This tuple serves as a unique identifier of an object over time • If another organization takes over the custodianship of the data/object, it has to continue to support its existing identifier • Assigning new identifiers is fine (organizational mergers, software updates), but the old identifiers still have to work to maintain referential integrity

  6. OIDs for Software generated Objects • For these objects identity is essential • GUID/UUID would work just as well for this category of objects • For these objects the root OID could be assigned by any party (e.g. using a software vendor root) – the essential thing is that the referential integrity is assured • Examples: • Message ID; Query ID; Act ID
