Health informatics — Sharing of OID registry information

This specification specifies the mandatory and optional information to be recorded in any registry of object identifiers (OIDs), using an information model. It specifies which parts of that information are to be regarded as public and which parts are to be subject to security and privacy requirements. All registries support the recording of mandatory information, but the recording of any specific OID in one or more repositories is always optional. In some cases, security and privacy requirements are more stringent for eHealth applications.
