Abstract
This document describes a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace that is engineered by a consortium (general contractor, Olimps LTD, and subcontractors, ABC software LTD, Microsoft Latvia LTD, Riga Internet eXchange (RIX) Technologies LTD, and Microlink LTD) for naming information resources published and produced by the Latvian National Government Integration Project (Latvian abbreviation IVIS).
The IVIS uses and produces many kinds of information resources such as E-services, E-service instances, specifications, standards, working documents, and XML schemas. An ID in IVIS has to be unique for global use every time.
Registration Version Number: 1 Registration Date: 2006-MM-DD
Declared registrant of the namespace:

Declaration of structure:
The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs assigned by the IVIS will have the following hierarchical structure (ABNF, according to [RFC4234]):
<NID> ::= "IVIS"
<NSS> ::= <IVIS Org ID>:<ResID - suffix>
<IVIS Org ID> ::= 1*<number> { subsystem ID from IVIS database}
<ResID - suffix> ::= 1*(<upper> | <lower> | <number> | <other>) {an ID generated by IVIS subsystem that is unique within this subsystem}
Every Latvian ministry's local authority produces many kinds of different documents, offers public services. Each of the information resources is already uniquely identified within an authority- producer. The IVIS URN namespace helps unify information resource identifiers by using existent Latvian government authority identification procedures to produce E-services and different documents where many parties are involved. Any citizen or organization with Internet web browser capability will be entitled to access the namespace and its associated application, registration, and resolution services. The primary IVIS namespace usage is to identify information resources, such as XML messages, their schemas, and other resources, which can be public or have a special destination, when a few different parties are involved in the interchange.
This document includes a RUN Network Identifier (NID) registration for IVIS for entry in the IANA registry of URN NIDs (see [RFC2434] for more information).
