14、al 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

15、 the 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

16、 information 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 Inte

17、rnational 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 docume

18、nt may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 8824-4 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 6, Telecommunications and information exchange between syst

19、ems, in collaboration with ITU-T. The identical text is published as ITU-T Rec. X.683. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 8824-4:1998), which has been technically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO/IEC 8824-4:1998/Amd.1:2000. ISO/IEC 8824 consists of the

20、 following parts, under the general title Information technology Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1): Part 1: Specification of basic notation Part 2: Information object specification Part 3: Constraint specification Part 4: Parameterization of ASN.1 specifications ISO/IEC 8824-4:2002(E) ISO/IEC 200

21、2 All rights reserved vIntroduction Application designers need to write specifications in which certain aspects are left undefined. Those aspects will later be defined by one or more other groups (each in its own way), to produce a fully defined specification for use in the definition of an abstract

22、 syntax (one for each group). In some cases, aspects of the specification (for example, bounds) may be left undefined even at the time of abstract syntax definition, being completed by the specification of International Standardized Profiles or functional profiles from some other body. NOTE 1 It is

23、a requirement imposed by this Recommendation | International Standard that any aspect that is not solely concerned with the application of constraints has to be completed prior to the definition of an abstract syntax. In the extreme case, some aspects of the specification may be left for the impleme

24、ntor to complete, and would then be specified as part of the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement. While the provisions of ITU-T Rec. X.681 | ISO/IEC 8824-2 and ITU-T Rec. X.682 | ISO/IEC 8824-3 provide a framework for the later completion of parts of a specification, they do not of themsel

25、ves solve the above requirements. Additionally, a single designer sometimes requires to define many types, or many information object classes, or many information object sets, or many information objects, or many values, which have the same outer level structure, but differ in the types, or informat

26、ion object classes, or information object sets, or information objects, or values, that are used at an inner level. Instead of writing out the outer level structure for every such occurrence, it is useful to be able to write it out once, with parts left to be defined later, then to refer to it and p

27、rovide the additional information. All these requirements are met by the provision for parameterized reference names and parameterized assignments by this Recommendation | International Standard. The syntactic form of a parameterized reference name is the same as that of the corresponding normal ref

28、erence name, but the following additional considerations apply: When it is assigned in a parameterized assignment statement, it is followed by a list of dummy reference names in braces, each possibly accompanied by a governor; these reference names have a scope which is the right-hand side of the as

29、signment statement, and the parameter list itself. NOTE 2 This is what causes it to be recognized as a parameterized reference name. When it is exported or imported, it is followed by a pair of empty braces to distinguish it as a parameterized reference name. When it is used in any construct, it is

30、followed by a list of syntactic constructions, one for each dummy reference name, that provide an assignment to the dummy reference name for the purposes of that use only. Dummy reference names have the same syntactic form as the corresponding normal reference name, and can be used anywhere on the r

31、ight-hand side of the assignment statement that the corresponding normal reference name could be used. All such usages are required to be consistent. ISO/IEC 8824-4:2003 (E) ITU-T Rec.
