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

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
36、s of that object. 3.6 identification scheme: A system allocating identifiers to registered objects. 3.7 organization identification scheme: An identification scheme dedicated to the unique identification of organizations. 3.8 International Code Designator, ICD: The data element used to uniquely iden
37、tify an organization identification scheme. 3.9 International Code Designator value, ICD value: The identifier allocated to a particular organization identification scheme. 3.10 organization identifier: The identifier assigned to an organization within an organization identification scheme, and uniq
38、ue within that scheme. 3.11 organization part identifier (OPI): An identifier allocated to a particular organizarion part. 3.12 OP1 source indicator (OPIS): The data element used to specify the source for the organization parr identifier. 3.13 OPIS value: The particular value (digit or capital lette
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
