This standardZ39.50-2003 also specifies versions 2 and 3, and additionally, incorporates many

Version 2 of Z39.50 is assumed identical to version 1 ofZ39.50; thus implementations that support version 2 automatically s

Implementa-tions that support version 3 are required to support version 2 (and thus version 1 as well).Certain procedures specified within the standard apply specifically to version 2 or version 3 andare noted as such.1.3 ReferencesANSI/NISO Z39.53-2001 Codes for the Representation
