The Reserved Bank holds the accesspassword and the kill password.Information that describes a Gen 2 RFID <strong>Tag</strong> itself,as opposed to describing the physical object to whichthe tag is affixed. The TID includes an indication ofthe make and model of the tag, and may also includeExtended TID (XTID) information.Bank 10 of a Gen 2 RFID <strong>Tag</strong> as specified in[UHFC1G2]. The TID Bank holds the TID andXTID (q.v.).A compact sequence of characters that identifies anabstract or physical resource. A URI may be furtherclassified as a Uniform Resource Name (URN) or aUniform Resource Locator (URL), q.v.A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that, in additionto identifying a resource, provides a means oflocating the resource by describing its primary accessmechanism (e.g., its network "location").A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that is part ofthe urn scheme as specified by [RFC2141]. SuchURIs refer to a specific resource independent of itsnetwork location or other method of access, or whichmay not have a network location at all. The termURN may also refer to any other URI having similarproperties.Because an Electronic Product Code is a uniqueidentifier for a physical object that does notnecessarily have a network locatin or other method ofaccess, URNs are used to represent <strong>EPC</strong>s.Bank 11 of a Gen 2 RFID <strong>Tag</strong> as specified in[UHFC1G2].
