The sixth registered URN (Uniform Resource Name) was OASIS for the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards, in February 2001.

See RFC3121 for detals.

Let's see how this name (and namespace) functions as a memespace.

This namespace is for naming persistent resources published by OASIS (such as OASIS Standards, XML (Extensible Markup Language) Document Type Definitions, XML Schemas, Namespaces, Stylesheets, and other documents). (from RFC3121).

The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs assigned by OASIS has the following hierarchical structure: There are two branches at the top of the hierarchy: "names" and "member".

The "names" hiearachy begins with one of three identifiers - "specification", "tc", and "technical".

The NSS in the members hierarchy begins with a unique member identifier assigned by OASIS. The string following the member identifier is opaque. For example: urn:oasis:member:A00025:x

Thus we can create the Meme ID for the OASIS member A00025.

It is simply OASIS-MEMBER-A00025. This meme ID on a page declares that the page is about this OASIS member.
