  1. OID for Global ID system TTA Hyoung Jun Kim, Jun Seob Lee, Kishik Park 30 June 2008

  2. Highlight of Current Activities (1) • What is an ID scheme? • ID (identifier) is used to uniquely identify an entity • Definition: An unambiguous name, in a given naming context (see ITU-T Terms and Definitions Database) • ID scheme is a method of assigning numbers to entities • Current activities in SDOs • Various ID schemes according to the specific purposes and applications • Phone number, International Standard Book Number (ISBN), Universal Product Code (in barcode), IdM in ITU-T, EPC global Unique Item Identifier … • ITU-T is developing a couple of new ID schemes for applications and services using tag-based identification • xCode and uCode for multimedia services using tag-based identification • ISO/IEC has many ID schemes to identify physical objects in RFID context • ISO/IEC 15459, 15963, 7816-5 …

  3. Highlight of Current Activities (2) • Why do we need a global ID system? • Too many ID schemes in the world, but • Most of them are not interoperable in global context • For example, EPC global Unique Item Identifiers are unique in EPC network context ,not in global context • Can an almighty ID scheme cover every tag-based identification applications? • This almighty ID scheme should be long enough • Does an application which has only 10 entities to identify need 128 or more bits long identifier? • Designing a new ID scheme for its own purpose is better • We need a global ID system which enables us to use any ID scheme • OID (Object Identifier, ITU-T X.660 series | ISO/IEC 9834-x) is key for this global ID system

  4. Strategic Direction • How to identify an entity in global context • An ID with OID can uniquely identify entities in global context • ID is unique only in a specific context • OID can be used to identify this specific context • ID with OID to uniquely identify an entity already used in this purpose in some area • OID is an International Standards (ITU-T X.660 series | ISO/IEC 9834-x) • Propose to use OID in order to enable globally interoperable ID system • OID should be used to specify a specific context • International Standards and Recommendations related to ID should describe how to specify a specific context using an OID • Which OID should be used • How to write OID and ID into the data carriers such as RFID tags

  5. Challenges • OID is used to identify context (ID scheme) in some of SCM (Supply Chain Management) area, but not generally • For example, ISO/IEC 15962 defines how to encode OID and ID into RFID tags • EPC global Unique Item Identifiers do not have OIDs • Significance of ID is highlighted by RFID and SCM, but RFID is just small part of tag-based identification applications • De facto SDOs are focusing on their on application area • They are not considering the global context (identify an entity in global context) • To re-use current existing ID schemes, which has no OID, in global context, we need to assign OIDs to them • By whom and How?

  6. Next Steps/Actions • ITU-T and ISO/IEC should collaborate to expand usage of OID for a global ID system • Identify problems of current existing ID schemes which are being used in global context • Use OID to enable a globally interoperable ID system • Recommend other SDOs to design their ID schemes to be identified in global context using OID

  7. Proposed Resolution • Proposed revision on RESOLUTION GSC-12/03 • Add the following in Resolves section • to encourage the ITU-T, PSOs, other relevant standards bodies and fora /consotia to collaborate in order to promote the use of OID to enable a globally interperable ID system

  8. Supplemental Slides

  9. Supplemental Slides (1) • Problem of current ID system • It is O.K even if ID 10101 is used in both context • But in global context… Context A Context B ID: 11010 ID: 11010 ID: 10010 ID: 10010 ID: 10101 ID: 10101 Global Context ID: 11010 ID: 11010 ID: 10010 ID: 10010 ID: 10101 ID: 10101

  10. Supplemental Slides (2) • Example of global ID system based on OID • It is O.K even if ID 10101 is used in global context because it has different OID Global Context OID: 1.2 ID: 11010 OID: 1.1 ID: 11010 OID: 1.1 ID: 10010 OID: 1.2 ID: 10010 OID: 1.1 ID: 10101 OID: 1.2 ID: 10101
