DOF Object Identifiers (OID) allow attributes to be associated. Each attribute is identified by a registered attribute identifier.
The process for registration involves the following steps:
- Check the current registry to see if an applicable identifier already exists.
- If not, determine a proposed data format and meaning.
- Submit your request to the OpenDOF Technical Committee (OpenDOF TC) at dof-tc@opendof.org, containing:
- Your proposed data format
- A description of how the attribute will be used
- If approved, the OpenDOF TC will assign an attribute identifier and provide any other feedback.
- Document the new attribute data format, and submit the document to the OpenDOF TC.
- The OpenDOF TC will publish the new attribute information.
