Structured elements that make up a IEEE identifier:
Publisher
EnumerationIEEE, IEC/IEEE, or ANSI/IEEE
IEEEIEC/IEEEANSI/IEEE
e.g.
IEEEDraft Indicator
EnumerationP prefix for draft standards
P
Present only for draft standards. Replaces "Std".
e.g.
:draftPNumber
StringThe standard number
Alphanumeric. May contain dots (e.g., 802.3, C37.118)
e.g.
802.3Part
StringPart number or subpart
Optional. Subpart after dot in number.
e.g.
1Year
YearPublication or revision year
4-digit year, preceded by hyphen
e.g.
2018Draft Version
StringDraft version number (e.g., D3.0)
Format: D[Major].[Minor]. Only for drafts.
e.g.
