RFC 9039: Uniform Resource Names for Device Identifiers

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes a new Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace for hardware device identifiers. A general representation of device identity can be useful in many applications, such as in sensor data streams and storage or in equipment inventories. A URN-based representation can be passed along in applications that need the information.
