Technical Summary<br>
<br>
This specification defines the UUIDs (Universally Unique IDentifiers)<br>
and the UUID Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace. UUIDs are also<br>
known as GUIDs (Globally Unique IDentifiers). A UUID is 128 bits<br>
long and is intended to guarantee uniqueness across space and time.<br>
UUIDs were originally used in the Apollo Network Computing System and<br>
later in the Open Software Foundation's (OSF) Distributed Computing<br>
Environment (DCE), and then in Microsoft Windows platforms.<br>
<br>
This specification is derived from the DCE specification with the<br>
kind permission of the OSF (now known as The Open Group).<br>
Information from earlier versions of the DCE specification have been<br>
incorporated into this document. This document obsoletes RFC4122.<br>
<br>
Working Group Summary<br>
<br>
The document represents a strong concurrence of a many individuals, including<br>
many from outside the IETF community who maintain running code.<br>
<br>
Document Quality<br>
<br>
Yes there are a number of implementators involved, and many have implemented<br>
the changes.<br>
<br>
The ITU-T and the ISO published documents similiar to RFC4122 at the time,<br>
but they have not responded to this BIS process.<br>
<br>
Personnel<br>
<br>
The Document Shepherd for this document is Michael Richardson. The<br>
Responsible Area Director is Murray Kucherawy.<br>
