Normative and informational data elements depend on the type of record, whether it’s an asset, token, or ledger.
Normative Data Elements
The set of normative data elements are technical facts unique to each asset, token or ledger that establish the 1:1 relationship to its assigned DTI/DLI. This is a set of objective data that can be validated by the registry during the allocation process.
Informative Data Elements
Data elements included in the registry if required, and/or provided by the registrant. In the event that informative data elements are disputed by other users, the registry record shall be noted as disputed and follow the dispute resolution process.

*Unique identifier: Constituents: the basic number is eight characters (alphanumeric) in length but excludes vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and the letter Y, and zero shall not be the first character. The basic number shall be randomly generated and semantically meaningless. A DTI and DLI are unique from each other and displayed using capital letters.
**Latin: Based on ISO/IEC 2382 definition of “alphanumeric” (pertaining to data that consist of letters, digits, and usually other characters, such as punctuation marks, as well as to processes and functional units that use those data). Supported characters include: Latin letters, numbers, common symbols (@, #, !, $, %, &, *, (, )) punctuation( ., ,, -, _, ?, !, :) and ‘Space’.
