802.1 Maintenance Database | Inaccurate description of URN usage in published YANG clauses and ongoing project(s)

Requested revision

Standard:	802.1Q	Clause:	48.1
Clause title:	YANG Framework

Rationale for revision

The YANG clauses in IEEE Std 802.1Q, P802.1CBcv, P802.ABcu all include 
the following in a "YANG Framework" or similarly named clause:


"
The YANG framework applies hierarchy in the following areas:

1) The uniform resource name (URN), as specified in IEEE Std 802d-2017. 
The structure of the URN is such that ieee is the root (i.e., name-space 
identifier), followed by the standard, then the working group developing 
the standard.

"
The description of the structure of the URN does not appear to match the 
URNs actually used, nor does is it agree with the specification in IEEE 
Std 802-d.


Here are some examples of urn usage from published 802.1Q YANG modules:

namespace urn:ieee:std:802.1Q:yang:ieee802-types;

namespace urn:ieee:std:802.1Q:yang:ieee802-dot1q-types;

namespace urn:ieee:std:802.1Q:yang:ieee802-dot1q-bridge;

namespace urn:ieee:std:802.1Q:yang:ieee802-dot1q-stream-filters-gates;

This usage does agree with Clause 11 of IEEE Std 802-d.

Proposed text

Remove the sentence "The structure of the URN is such that ieee is the 
root (i.e., name-space identifier), followed by the standard, then the 
working group developing the standard." from the referenced standards 
and project(s) (if not yet approved).
