IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, a

Draft Intemational Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard req

16、uires approval by at least 75 9% of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC 6523- 1 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC I, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 32, Data management services. This edition, together with ISO/IEC 6523-2: 1998, cancels and

17、replaces IS0 6523: 1984, which has been technically revised. ISOAEC 6523 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology - Structure for the identification of organizations and organization parts: - Part i: Identification of organization identification schemes - Part

18、2: Registration of organization identification schemes Annex A forms an integral part of this part of ISOAEC 6523. Annex B is for infomation only. iii STD.BSI BS ISOIIEC b523-1-ENGL 1778 1624bb 0808833 4b7 E BS ISO/IEC 6523-11998 Introduction The increased use of data processing and telecommunicatio

19、ns capabilities in commercial, governmental and other applications has made possible the interchange of information in an effective machine-processable form. As this type of automated interchange increases, the need for International Standards covering data also increases. ISO/IEC 6523 defining a st

20、ructure for a globally unique and unambiguous identification of organizations and organization parts is one of a number of International Standards that have been developed as a means for improving the accuracy and effectiveness of data processing and data interchange. In the development of this part

21、 of ISOIIEC 6523, it has been recognized that a single method for identifying all organizations on an international basis is neither feasible nor practicable. Instead, this part of ISO/IEC 6523 recognizes existing methods of identification and provides a means for systematically incorporating these

22、in a uniform structure for the purposes of information interchange. In this part of ISOIIEC 6523 an organization may be identified by more than one identification method. The use of the structure for the identification of organizations and organization parts, for the purpose of interchange of inform

23、ation, will: a) Improve the accuracy of the identification of organizations and organization parts, and hence of the interchange of data; b) reduce the need for human intervention in the interchange of information in machine-to-machine environments; c) diminish the time required to specify interchan

24、ge agreements; d) as a consequence of the foregoing, reduce the cost of the interchange of data. Examples illustrating the use of the structure for the identification of organizations and organization parts are given in informative annex B. The significant changes since the preceding edition of ISOf

25、lEC 6523 (1984) are the following: - The standard has been split into two parts, according to the ISOBEC rules for the elaboration of standards; - The organization name has been removed from the structure; - The format of the ICD has been changed to variable length; - The length limit for the organi

26、zation identifier has been changed to 35 characters; - The restrictions on the types of characters in the organization identifier have been removed; - The identification of organization parts, which was only implicit in the preceding version of the standard, through the generic definition given for

27、the word “organization“, is now explicit, through a separate data element; - A component has been added for the specification of the source of the Organization Part identifier. iv STD*BSI BS ISO/IEC b523-L-ENGL 1998 Lb2qbbS 0808814 3T3 BS ISO/IEC 6523-1:1998 Information technology - Structure for th

29、. This part of ISOIIEC 6523 also makes recommendations regarding cases where prior agreements may be concluded between interchange partners. 1.2 This part of ISOIIEC 6523 does not specify file organization techniques, storage media, languages. etc. to be used in its implementation. 2 Normative refer

35、a set of attributes (ISOiIEC I i 179-3). 3.4 data element value: A value out of a set of permissible values pertaining to a data element. 3.5 identifier: A character or group of characters constituting a dura element value used to identify or name an object and possibly to indicate certain propertie

39、r) taken by the OPIS to designate the source of an organization part identijier. 3.14 character repertoire: A set of characters, considered independently of its encoding. 4 Structure for the identification of organizations and organization parts The purpose of the structure for the identification of

40、 organizations and organization parts is to provide a global and unambiguous identification of one organization among all other organizations, and of any part of it as appropriate. 4.1 Components of the structure The structure for the identification of organizations and organization parts consists o

41、f the following four components: a) the International Code Designator (ICD); b) the identification of an organization within an identification scheme: a data element containing an organization c) the identification of an organization part: a data element containing an organization part identifier (O

42、PI); d) the OP1 source indicator (OPIS): a data element containing a code value indicating the source of the OPI. identifier; The third component, identification of an organization part, is optional. It is used when and only when one wants to designate a specific part within an organization. The fou

43、rth component, the OP1 source indicator (OPIS), shall not be used if the third component is not used; it is optional when the OP1 is used. 2 The format of these data elements is the following: - ICD: - Identification of an organization: - OPI: - OPIS: 1 character. No particular sequence of the four

44、components is specified in this part of IS0532 6523. The structure is illustrated in figure 1. Examples of use of the structure are given in informative annex B. integer, variable length, up to 4 digits; variable length, up to 35 characters; variable length, up to 35 characters; ICD Identification o

46、arr of ISWIEC 6523: see 4.6) Figure 1 - The structure for the identification of organizations and organization parts 4.2 The International Code Designator (ICD) 4.2.1 The International Code Designator (ICD) is used to uniquely identify an organization identification scheme. 4.2.2 The ICD values are

47、all integers from 1 to 9999. The ICD may be transmitted as a variable-length data element; conversely, if transmitted in a 4 digit fixed length field, leading zeros shall be added to complete the format to 4 digits if the ICD value is less than l. 4.2.3 An International Code Designator value is allo

48、cated to an organization identification scheme in accordance with the procedure specified in ISOAEC 6523-2. 4.2.4 The ICD value allocated to an organization identification scheme shall be unique. 4.2.5 To guarantee unique identification of organization identification schemes, an ICD value once assig

49、ned shall not be reallocated. 4.2.6 ICD values reserved for special use are specified in clause 5. 4.3 The identification of an organization within an identification scheme 4.3.1 An organization is identified within an identification scheme by the identifier allocated to it within that scheme. The identification scheme is identified by the ICD value. 43.2 The identifier allocated to an organization within an identification scheme shall be unique within the identification scheme. 4.3.3 The length of the identifier shall be of maximum 35 characters. 4.3.4 The format of the
