<p>
An object identifier (OID) is an extensively used identification mechanism
jointly developed by <a href="http://www.itu.int/ITU-T">ITU-T</a> and
<a href="http://www.iso.org">ISO</a>/<a href="http://www.iec.org">IEC</a>
for naming any type of <a href="faq.htm#2">object, concept or "thing"</a>
with a globally unambiguous name which requires a persistent name (long
life-time). It is not intended to be used for transient naming. OIDs,
once allocated, should not be re-used for a different object/thing.<br><br>It is based on a hierarchical name structure based on the "<a href="faq.htm#16">OID
tree</a>". This naming structure uses a sequence of names, of which
the first name identifies a top-level "node" in the OID tree,
and the next provides further identification of arcs leading to sub-nodes
beneath the top-level, and so on to any depth.<br><br>A critical feature of this identification mechanism is that it makes
OIDs available to a great many organizations and specifications for
their own use (including countries, ITU-T Recommendations, ISO and IEC
International Standards, specifications from national, regional or international
organizations, etc.). <br></p>

At each node, including the root, there is a <a href="faq.htm#29">requirement</a>
for some organization or standard to be responsible for allocating arcs
to sub-nodes and <a href="faq.htm#21">recording that allocation</a>
(together with the organization the subordinate node has been allocated
to), not necessarily publicly. This activity is called a Registration
Authority (RA).<br><br>In the OID tree, RAs are generally responsible only for allocation of
sub-arcs to other RAs that then control their own sub-nodes. In general,
the RA for a sub-node operates independently in allocating further sub-arcs
to other organizations, but can be constrained by rules imposed by its
superior, should the superior so wish.<br><br>The registration tree is indeed <a href="faq.htm#management">managed</a>
in a completely decentralized way (a node gives full power to its children).<br>The registration tree is defined and managed following the <a href="faq.htm#1">ITU-T
X.660 & X.670 Recommendation series (or the ISO/IEC 9834 series
of International Standards)</a>.<br></p>

Initially, it was left for each Registration Authority in the hierarchy
to maintain its own record of allocation beneath that RA, and to keep
those allocations private if it so chose. There was never any policing
of this. An RA in the hierarchy was its own master and operated autonomously.
Interestingly, it is believed that the very few basic rules (unambiguous
allocation and no re-use) were very rarely violated.<br><br>This is still pretty-well the position today, but in the early 1990s
France Telecom Orange (now Orange) developed software for their internal use which
was generic enough to provide a publicly available repository of OID
allocations.<br><br>Primary information on sub-node allocations is often buried inside the
databases (perhaps only paper) maintained by an immense numbers of RAs.
The information can be hard to access and is sometimes private. So today
this OID repository is regarded as the easiest way to access a large
amount of the publicly available information on the OID tree, but the
only OIDs and nodes listed are those that have been voluntarily contributed.
It does not (and cannot) contain all OIDs, but <a href="/cgi-bin/display?action=count_nodes">many OIDs are recorded</a>.<br><br>This OID repository is not an official Registration Authority, so any
OID described in this OID repository has to be officially allocated
by the Registration Authority of its parent OID. This OID repository
is based on crowdsourcing and gathers information about OIDs that have
been submitted by any user of this web site (and validated by the webmaster
of this web site).<br></p>
