Each Information Entity has one or more Entity Domains where it uses to interact with other entities. Inside each Entity Domain are Entity Resources.
Entity Domain Name
Each Domain Name consists of 2 parts: the alphanumeric part in front which is generated from the first component of its DNS domain and a pure numeric part at the back.
e.g.
- oztell0 is a company with DNS domain name of oztell.com
- 88i0 is an ecosystem with DNS domain name of 88.io
- demo7c0 is a person with DNS domain name of demo7.com
- liverloop0 is the municipality with DNS domain of liverpool.nsw.gov.au
- liverpool1 is the building with DNS domain of liverpoolcentralmotel.com
- citymark0 is building with DNS domain of citymarkbuilding.com
- sydney0 is the municipality with DNS domain of cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au
The numeric part always start with 0 but will increase if a different entity’s DNS domain maps to the same alphanumeric part.
The Domain Name follows the following rules:
- Front Alphanumeric part: Make up from a set of 36 characters a to z and 0 to 9
- Back Numeric part: Make up from a set of 10 characters 0 to 9
- No Space, No Upper Case
- Unique within an Ecosystem
- Created with its DNS Domain using the algorithm below
Algorithm:
- Extract the first component of the DNS domain (left most component)
- Remove all non alphanumeric
- Use that as the Domain Name OR if it is too long use any continuous part within that component
- If the last character of that component is a number, then search right within the other components of the DNS until the first alpha is reached, and add that alpha to the back of that component
- Add numeric part as zero to the end
- If that Entity Name already allocated then increment the numeric part by 1
Entity Resource Name
Each Resource Name consists of 2 parts: the alphabetic part in front which is selected from a list of predefined words (or created by individual domain if needed) and a numeric part at the back.
The Domain Name of the domain that the resource belongs is normally displayed together with the Resource Name separated by a dash.
e.g.
- cluster0-oztell0 is a company with DNS domain name of oztell.com
- portal0-88i0 a portal for is an ecosystem with DNS domain name of 88.io
- lap0-demo7c0 is a laptop of a person with DNS domain name of demo7.com
- campus0-liverloop0 is a campus within the municipality with DNS domain of liverpool.nsw.gov.au
- level4-citymark0 is level 4 within building with DNS domain of citymarkbuilding.com
Resource Name by itself is unique within each Domain, if it is used with a – and its Domain then it is globally unique.
Recommended Names
Each Entity can define its own Resource Names but there are some standard names that are recommended for use so the resources can be managed under standard management systems.
e.g.
The Resource Name follows the following rules:
- Front Alpha part: Make up from a set of 26 characters a to z
- Back Numeric part: Make up from a set of 10 characters 0 to 9
- No Space, No Upper Case
- Unique within each Domain
- Created with its DNS Domain using the algorithm below
- Selected from
If a resource name is not used

Entity Number
For each Information Domain you create, you can pick your a Domain Number to uniquely identify your Information Domain worldwide.
The Domain Number is normally a real PSTN Phone Number in a location of your choice.
For example, a user called “Demo7” in New York (USA) has created an new Information Domain for herself and has picked a Domain Number in New York:
+1 646 3600971
Her Information Domain can now be contacted using that number :

Some unique features about Domain Identity:
- Your Domain Identity is normally separate to your Real Identity. Although you can choose to make them the same – say you are a small online business.
- A individual or organisation can have Multiple Domains for Different Purposes e.g. school, home, work, friends etc.
- Domains can be linked together for easy ma
