ARES concerns documents that:
- are received or formally drawn up by a Commission department in the course of its activities (e.g. documents that have been signed or approved rather than the first rough draft of a text),
- are likely to require action (e.g. a complaint which must be answered) or which involve the responsibility of the Commission (e.g. a contract), and
- contain important information, which is not short-lived (e.g. a Decision, a speech).
Subsequent OIDs identify ARES registered documents by direct mapping with their ARES registration number. ARES registration numbers are composed of a registration year and an ARES sequence number in year. For instance, document ARES(2013)12345 is identified by OID 1.3.130.0.2013.12345.
A child (and grand-child) OID is implicitly allocated each time an ARES number is conferred to a document by the European Commission's ARES system. There is thus no need to explicitly contact the registration authority of this OID to obtain a document OID under this scheme, but the document must be registered in ARES instead. ARES is an internal system to the "DG DIGIT" of the European Commission and is not publicly available.
