+xns
Service: Name

 
Creates and manages unique XNS names within a given name space. A name can be associated with an existing ID, released for use by another identity, replaced with a different name, or reserved while the identity owner completes the name registration process. Some objects in the Name service are designed to be held by the registrar, while other objects are designed to be held by the registrant.

See specifications: Web Services Description Language (WSDL) XML Schema Definition (XSD)
