Furthermore, this document uses "names" or "identifiers" for groups and nodes. Their different meanings are summarized below.

* Group name: the invariant once established identifier of a group. It is used in the interactions between Client, AS, and RS to identify a group. A group name is always unique among the group names of the existing groups under the same KDC.
* Group name: the identifier of a group, as a text string. Once established, it is invariant. It is used in the interactions between Client, AS, and RS to identify a group. A group name is always unique among the group names of the existing groups under the same KDC.

* GROUPNAME: the invariant once established text string used in URIs. GROUPNAME uniquely maps to the group name of a group, although they do not necessarily coincide.

* Group identifier: the identifier of the group keying material used in a group. Unlike group name and GROUPNAME, this identifier changes over time, when the group keying material is updated.

* Node name: the invariant once established identifier of a node. It is used in the interactions between Client and RS, as well as to identify a member of a group. Within the same group, a node name is always unique among the node names of all the current members of that group.
* Node name: the identifier of a node, as a text string. Once established, it is invariant. It is used in the interactions between Client and RS, as well as to identify a member of a group. Within the same group, a node name is always unique among the node names of all the current members of that group.

* NODENAME: the invariant once established text string used in URIs to identify a member of a group. Its value coincides with the node name of the associated group member.
