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.
