Interface OID

All Superinterfaces:

ANY, BIN, ED, Iterable<BN>, LIST<BN>, Serializable, ST, UID

public interface OID
extends UID

ISO Object Identifier

A globally unique string representing an ISO Object Identifier (OID) in a form that consists only of numbers and dots (e.g., "2.16.840.1.113883.3.1"). According to ISO, OIDs are paths in a tree structure, with the left-most number representing the root and the right-most number representing a leaf.

Each branch under the root corresponds to an assigning authority. Each of these assigning authorities may, in turn, designate its own set of assigning authorities that work under its auspices, and so on down the line. Eventually, one of these authorities assigns a unique (to it as an assigning authority) number that corresponds to a leaf node on the tree. The leaf may represent an assigning authority (in which case the root OID identifies the authority), or an instance of an object. An assigning authority owns a namespace, consisting of its sub-tree.

OIDs are the preferred scheme for unique identifiers. OIDs should always be used except if one of the inclusion criteria for other schemes apply.
