Global Naming
The root node has three subordinates:
ccitt(0)
- which is administered by CCITT, nowadays known simply by its
parent body's name, ITU...
iso(1)
- administered by ISO/IEC, and the branch of the tree of most
interest.
joint-iso-ccitt(2)
- jointly adminstered by ISO and CCITT.
ISO/IEC in turn defines four subordinates:
standard(0)
- which has a subordinate tree for every ISO standard(!)
registration-authority(1)
- defines OSI name registration authorities.
member-body(2)
- the members (countries) which form the ISO.
identified-organisation(3)
- allocated by ISO/IEC as it sees fit. The US Govt. DoD, the
original sponsoring organisation for the TCP/IP protocol suite and
the Internet is a subordinate of this node. The Internet, in turn,
is node 1 within DoD.
