Summary
A naming authority is someone who guarantees that all names in a namespace are unique. For example, the telephone company guarantees that everyone has a unique telephone number.A naming authority manages the associations between namespaces and the assignment of names. Many namespaces share textual and numeric names. For example, the Internet uses textual domain names and numeric IP addresses. All domain names and IP addresses are unique. There is a one-one relationship between the two. (cbb 4/06)
