Tom,

Happy to see this registration of the sdmx namespace.

It looks fine to me except that I stumbled a bit over the section on lexical equivalence. You state that the "urn" and "sdmx" literals are compared case-intensively. Since RFC 8141 §2 states that the URI scheme "urn" and the NID are converted to lower case before comparison [2] you're effectively saying the same thing as the spec but in other words.

In the section on identifier resolution you also touch on percent encoding. Here RFC 8141 states that you need to ensure that in percent-encoded characters the digits A-F are upper-case only. My suggestion would be to say that the rules of RFC 8141 §2 apply except that the agency-id label is compared case-intensively.

Best,

Lars

Betreff: [urn] Submission URN:SDMX

Dear URN committe members,

I am writing to formally submit SDMx’s request for the URN:SDMX for your review. The full submission is attached to this email.

Abstract

   This document describes a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace for 
   'The Standard for Statistical Data and Metadata' (SDMx). The namespace provides 
   stable, unique identifiers for SDMx artefacts such as data structures, 
   code lists, concept schemes, and related structural metadata.

I look forward to hearing from the committee regarding this application.

Kind regards,
