A Primary Server for Organizational Identifiers

Abstract

This report describes the design and implementation of an organizational identifier server (OIS). This server is the top level of a hierarchy to assign and maintain a list of unique identifiers for Department of Defense (DoD) organizations. These OrgID numbers are designed to provide a uniform means for digital computers to reference DoD organizations. The OIS accepts requests for OrgIDs from organization servers (OS) and generates sets of unique numbers in response. The OIS also acts as a directory for assigned numbers. OS programs may query the OIS as to who owns a particular OrgID, and the OIS will respond with the name of the OS that was assigned the particular OrgID and its current status.
