A Uniform Resource Name for Emergency and Other Well-Known Services
RFC 5031, “A Uniform Resource Name for Emergency and Other Well-Known Services”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2008 by H. Schulzrinne. It has since been updated by RFC 7163. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The content of many communication services depends on the context, such as the user's location. We describe a 'service' URN that allows well-known context-dependent services that can be resolved in a distributed manner to be identified. Examples include emergency services, directory assistance, and call-before-you-dig hot lines. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
