OMNA is the operational naming authority established by WAP (as WAP Interim Naming Authority - WINA) and inherited by OMA. The goal of OMNA is to foster interoperability and compatibility between implementations utilizing OMA technology through the registration and mediation of assigned names and numbers. OMNA is specifically concerned with names and numbers not already administered by other bodies (e.g., IANA).

OMNA Process

The current OMNA process is based on the WINA process established by WAP. Until an OMA version is developed, the WAP WINA process document should be used as a guide. It describes the overall purpose of OMNA, how numbers and names are allocated, etc. Please read this document before submitting a request for an assigned name or number.

Requests for Assigned Names or Numbers

Requests for OMNA assigned names or numbers should be submitted via the OMNA request form by selecting the appropriate Name Space. Requests will be reviewed by the OMNA Secretary and the Operations and Process Committee, and will be granted if they fulfill the requirements outlined in the Process document. The assignment of a name or number will be recorded in the OMNA database.

To get to a form to submit a request, there is a link available on the relevant pages listed below. Alternatively, this page has links to each of them.

OMNA Administration

OMNA is administered by the Operations and Process Committee. The OMNA Secretary can be reached by sending mail to OMA-OMNA. If you have comments on OMNA or the OMNA processes, please contact either the Operations and Process Committee or the OMNA Secretary.
