8、Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by th

9、e respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of in

10、formation technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft Interna

11、tional Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document

INCITS/ISO/IEC 24703:20042008 iv ITIC 2008 All rights reserved Introduction The purpose of this International Standard is to define the datatype of an identifier for the purposes of identifying participants in learning, education and training. Participants may be users, teachers, agents, groups, o

14、rganizations, institutions, etc. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INCITS/ISO/IEC 24703:20042008 ITIC 2008 All rights reserved 1 Information technology Participant identifiers 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the datatype of participant identifiers in learning, education and training. Security

15、 and protection of personal data associated with the use of a participant identifier is not addressed in this standard. The naming policy, registration, and authentication of participant identifiers are outside the scope of this International Standard. NOTE There is a risk of improper access and mis

16、use of personal and private data facilitated by the use of a participant identifier. It is the responsibility of the implementer to ensure proper use of a participant identifier. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

20、 framework or specification to another 3.3 datatype set of distinct values, characterized by properties of those values and by operations on those values 3.4 encoding bit and byte format and representation of information INCITS/ISO/IEC 24703:20042008 2 ITIC 2008 All rights reserved 3.5 implementatio

The policy of singularity or non-singu

22、larity of identifiers is outside the scope of this International Standard. 3.7 participant information data that is primarily associated with, tracked by, tracked for, and about participants in information technology systems 3.8 smallest permitted maximum SPM smallest maximum value for a requirement

23、 provision EXAMPLE The smallest permitted maximum length of field X shall be 25. 3.9 UCS universal character set character set defined by ISO/IEC 10646-1 3.10 unspecified behaviour implementation behaviour for which a standard provides two or more possibilities and imposes no further requirements on

24、 which possibility is chosen in any instance 4 Conformance A conforming participant identifier shall conform to the requirements specified in: Clause 5, Clause 6, Clause 7, at least one binding of Clause 8 and Clause 9. 5 Functionality A participant identifier shall represent a designator. NOTE More

25、 than one participant identifier may be associated with an individual participant. A participant identifier shall be a printable text string that should facilitate transcription by humans. EXAMPLE A 10-character string of digits is easier to transcribe than a 256-character string of mixed-case Latin

26、 characters. 6 Conceptual model A participant identifier is a string of abstract characters that is associated with a participant. Conceptually, the participant identifier is opaque in that the string contains no information itself, e.g., “35267901“ has no particular meaning. Some implementations an

27、d administrators may choose participant identifiers that convey information, e.g., “doe.john“, and some participant identifiers may contain even more information, e.g., “building2-doe.john“. INCITS/ISO/IEC 24703:20042008 ITIC 2008 All rights reserved 3 A participant identifier may be used in several

28、 contexts, such as being embedded into filenames, URLs, or E-mail addresses. Within information technology systems that manage participant information, participant identifiers may be used to link repositories to provide common and/or consolidated identification methods. 7 Semantics 7.1 Components of

29、 a participant identifier A participant identifier shall consist of identifier segments separated by segment separators. An identifier segment shall consist of identifier characters from the abstract character set. A segment separator shall be implementation-defined, but the period character “.“ is

30、recommended. 7.2 ISO/IEC 11404 datatype definition The following datatype, given in ISO/IEC 11404 notation, defines the participant identifier: characterstring(ISO/IEC-10646-1) The smallest permitted maximum length of a participant identifier shall be 50 abstract characters. NOTE The parameter “ISO/

31、IEC-10646-1“ identifies that abstract character repertoire, not its encoding. 7.3 Allowable abstract characters The abstract characters of a participant identifier shall be limited to the following set. The characters are named by their 16-bit hexadecimal name within the Basic Multilingual Plane of

32、UCS. This subset of abstract characters is based on ISO/IEC TR 10176. 7.3.1 Identifier characters The following are non-digit, non-special abstract characters: Latin: 0041-005A, 0061-007A, 00AA, 00BA, 00C0-00D6, 00D8-00F6, 00F8-01F5, 01FA-0217, 0250-02A8, 1E00-1E9B, 1EA0-1EF9, 207F Greek: 0386, 0388

45、ures, pointers, arrays, and function parameters that store a participant identifier. NOTE If the 7-bit encoding is used for the C/C+ translation environment, the smallest permitted maximum requirement implies that the participant identifier must be at least 501 chars long: (“%U“ + 8 hex digits) * 50

46、 + 1 terminating null character. An instance of a participant identifier shall be encoded as an array of octets. 8.3 Java binding Applications and environments that claim conformance within a Java language translation system shall use the string type (or compatible) for classes, arrays, and method p

47、arameters that store a participant identifier. 8.4 ECMAScript (JavaScript) binding Applications and environments that claim conformance within an ECMAScript (JavaScript) language translation system shall use the “string“ type (or compatible) for arrays and function parameters that store a participan

48、t identifier. 9 Encodings All bindings shall use the encodings specified in this clause. NOTE 1 Applications and user interfaces may allow entry and display of these participant identifiers in forms that are more natural to humans, e.g., a login screen for a Japanese user might only show Kanji chara

49、cters, meanwhile the application converts these Kanji characters to/from the participant identifier encoding format. INCITS/ISO/IEC 24703:20042008 6 ITIC 2008 All rights reserved A participant identifier shall use one of the following conventions for encoding characters for each abstract character to be encoded. The symbol “h“ represents 4 bits of information represented as a hexadecimal character (0-9, A-F, case-insensitive). Abstract characters that are
