This document does not normatively specify the web services provided by the Registration Authority; some information on these is provided in Annexes B and D. 2 Conformance Notation Normative text is text that describes elements of the design that are indispensable or c
16、ontains the conformance language keywords: “shall“, “should“, or “may“. Informative text is text that is potentially helpful to the user, but not indispensable, and can be removed, changed, or added editorially without affecting interoperability. Informative text does not contain any conformance key
17、words. All text in this document is, by default, normative, except: the Introduction, any section explicitly labeled as “Informative“ or individual paragraphs that start with “Note:” The keywords “shall“ and “shall not“ indicate requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to the documen
18、t and from which no deviation is permitted. The keywords, “should“ and “should not“ indicate that, among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others; or that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily required; or that (
19、in the negative form) a certain possibility or course of action is deprecated but not prohibited. The keywords “may“ and “need not“ indicate courses of action permissible within the limits of the document. The keyword “reserved” indicates a provision that is not defined at this time, shall not be us
20、ed, and may be defined in the future. The keyword “forbidden” indicates “reserved” and in addition indicates that the provision will never be defined in the future. A conformant implementation according to this document is one that includes all mandatory provisions (“shall“) and, if implemented, all
21、 recommended provisions (“should“) as described. A conformant implementation need not implement optional provisions (“may“) and need not implement them as described. Unless otherwise specified the order of precedence of the types of normative information in this document shall be as follows. Normati
22、ve prose shall be the authoritative definition. Tables shall be next, followed by formal languages, then figures, and then any other language forms. 3 Normative Reference ISO 8859-1:1998, Information Technology 8-Bit Single-Byte Coded Graphic Character Sets Part 1: Latin Alphabet No. 1, published 4/
23、16/1998. 4 Terms and Definitions 4.1 Advertising Asset A communication created for the purpose of persuading or convincing a person or organization to purchase or consume a particular product or service, or to influence the target entitys perception or opinion of a person, organization, concept, pro
24、duct or service. Page 4 of 16 pages RDD 17-2009 4.2 Regional Agency An organization authorized by the Registration Authority to issue and administer Ad-IDs in a specified geographic region or regions. 4.3 Registrant An organization or an individual acting on the organizations behalf that registers a
25、n Advertising Asset with the Registration Authority. As part of the registration process, an Ad-ID is issued that is perpetually associated with the Advertising Asset and may be used to identify it. 4.4 Registration Authority The organization that registers Advertising Assets and issues the Ad-IDs a
26、ssociated with them. The Registration Authority is responsible for maintenance of the Register, the database that associates a particular Advertising Asset with its Ad-ID. 5 Structure of the Ad-ID An Ad-ID shall consist of a twelve character string. This string shall be divided into three parts, a f
27、our-character alphabetic Company Prefix, a seven-character alphanumeric Unique Code and a one-character Media Type Identifier. See Figure 1. Note: In the figures below, the character string Ad-ID has been omitted and spaces have been inserted for clarity. See Annex C for the proper form for print re
28、presentation. ABCD 1234000HCompanyPrefixUnique Code MediaTypeIdentifierFigure 1 Structure of an Ad-ID 5.1 Company Prefix The Company Prefix shall consist of four uppercase letters A-Z from the Latin Alphabet No.1 as specified in ISO 8859-1. All existing ISCI prefixes may be grandfathered into Ad-ID.
29、 5.2 Unique Code The Unique Code shall consist of seven alphanumeric characters (uppercase and lowercase letters A-Z and Arabic numerals 0-9) from the Latin Alphabet No.1 as specified in ISO 8859-1. These are divided into two sets, the first four characters and the following three, which are designa
30、ted as overflow characters Page 5 of 16 pages RDD 17-2009 Ad-ID offers flexibility in the manner an advertiser may have the first four characters generated. The format for a given Ad-ID shall be established at the time the Prefix is initially registered and shall not be changed after it is set. Ther
31、e are four options, which are described in Sections 5.2.1 through 5.2.4 below. Note that it is not necessarily possible to determine from inspection of the Ad-ID which of the format options was used; consequently it is not possible to determine the year the Ad-ID was registered from such an inspecti
32、on. 5.2.1 4-Digit Sequence All 4 characters shall be used to count the number of Ad-IDs registered under this prefix. These shall be assigned automatically when the Ad-ID is registered. Example: ABCD 0001000H, ABCD 0002000H to ABCD 9999000H. Figure 2 4-Digit Sequence 5.2.2 1-Digit Year + 3-Digit Seq
33、uence The first digit shall be the last number in the current year. The last 3 digits shall be used to count the number of Ad-IDs registered under this prefix. These shall be assigned automatically when the Ad-ID is registered. Example (using the year 2008): ABCD 8001000H, ABCD 8002000H to ABCD 8999
34、000H. Figure 3 1-Digit Year + 3-Digit Sequence 5.2.3 3-Digit Sequence + 1-Digit Year The first 3 digits are used to count the number of Ad-IDs registered under this prefix. The last digit shall be the last number in the current year. These shall be assigned automatically when the Ad-ID is registered
35、. Example (using the year 2008): ABCD 0018000H, ABCD 0028000H to ABCD 9998000H. Page 6 of 16 pages RDD 17-2009 Figure 4 3-Digit Sequence + 1-Digit Year 5.2.4 Custom The sequence of 4 characters may be any combination of uppercase or lowercase letters or numbers and are assigned manually by a user at
36、 the time the Ad-ID is created. The sequence shall be case-sensitive. If a user enters a sequence that is a duplicate of another Ad-ID, the system will increment the overflow characters. Example: ABCD 1Y7W000H, ABCD EI30000H, ABCD 238Q000H, etc. Figure 5 Custom 5.3 Overflow Characters The overflow c
37、haracters shall be assigned by the Registration Authority when it encounters an 8 digit code that is a duplicate of another Ad-ID. The overflow character sequence begins at 100 and shall be incremented by 1 digit. Thus, the overflow characters for the second Ad-ID having the same first 8 digits shal
38、l be 200. The Registration Authority shall continue to increment using uppercase alpha characters A-Z before it overflows to 010. In other words, the three overflow characters represent a three-digit, base-36 integer presented least significant digit first. The 36 digits are 0-9 and A-Z, in order of
39、 increasing magnitude. 5.4 Media Type Identifier The Media Type Identifier shall consist of an alphanumeric character, uppercase letter or the space character from the Latin alphabet No. 1 as specified in ISO 8859-1, as follows: 5.4.1 Standard Definition If the Advertising Asset has moving image ess
40、ence that is standard definition (480 or 576 line formats or lower), the Media Type Identifier shall be the space character.

41、mage essence that is high definition (720 or 1080 line formats or higher), the Media Type Identifier shall be the uppercase letter H.

42、i.e., print or radio), the Media Type Identifier shall be the digit 0.
