12、CITS/ISO/IEC 6523-1:19982009vForewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form thespecialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in thedevelopment of Internationa
13、l Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal withparticular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Otherinternational organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO
14、 and IEC, also take part in the work.In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. DraftInternational Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as anInternational Sta
15、ndard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.International Standard ISO/IEC 6523-1 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,Subcommittee SC 32, Data management services.This edition, together with ISO/IEC 6523-2:1998, cancels a
16、nd replaces ISO 6523:1984, which has been technically revised.ISO/IEC 6523 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology Structure for the identificationof organizations and organization parts: Part 1: Identification of organization identification schemes Part 2: Re
17、gistration of organization identification schemesAnnex A forms an integral part of this part of ISO/IEC 6523. Annex B is for information only. ITIC 2009 All rights reservedINCITS/ISO/IEC 6523-1:19982009viIntroductionThe increased use of data processing and telecommunications capabilities in commerci
18、al, governmental and other applicationshas made possible the interchange of information in an effective machine-processable form. As this type of automatedinterchange increases, the need for International Standards covering data also increases. ISO/IEC 6523 defining a structure fora globally unique
19、and unambiguous identification of organizations and organization parts is one of a number of InternationalStandards that have been developed as a means for improving the accuracy and effectiveness of data processing and datainterchange.In the development of this part of ISO/IEC 6523, it has been rec
20、ognized that a single method for identifying all organizationson an international basis is neither feasible nor practicable. Instead, this part of ISO/IEC 6523 recognizes existing methods ofidentification and provides a means for systematically incorporating these in a uniform structure for the purp
21、oses of informationinterchange. In this part of ISO/IEC 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 ofinformation, will:a) Improve the accuracy of
22、 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 interchange agreements;d) as a consequence of the
23、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 ininformative annex B.The significant changes since the preceding edition of ISO/IEC 6523 (1984) are the following: The standa
24、rd has been split into two parts, according to the ISO/IEC 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 organization identifier has been changed to 35 characters;
25、 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 thegeneric definition given for the word “organization“, is now explicit, through a separ
26、ate data element; A component has been added for the specification of the source of the Organization Part identifier.

27、Part 1:Identification of organization identification schemes1 Scope1.1 This part of ISO/IEC 6523 specifies a structure for globally and unambiguously identifying organizations, and parts thereof,for the purpose of information interchange.This part of ISO/IEC 6523 also makes recommendations regarding
28、 cases where prior agreements may be concluded betweeninterchange partners.1.2 This part of ISO/IEC 6523 does not specify file organization techniques, storage media , languages, etc. to be used in itsimplementation.2 Normative referencesThe following standards contain provisions which, through refe
29、rence in this text, constitute provisions of this part ofISO/IEC 6523. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties toagreements based on this part of ISO/IEC 6523 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most

43、as appropriate.4.1 Components of the structureThe structure for the identification of organizations and organization parts consists of the following four components:a) the International Code Designator (ICD);b) the identification of an organization within an identification scheme: a data element con
44、taining an organizationidentifier;c) the identification of an organization part: a data element containing an organization part identifier (OPI);d) the OPI source indicator (OPIS): a data element containing a code value indicating the source of the OPI.The third component, identification of an organ
45、ization part, is optional. It is used when and only when one wants to designate aspecific part within an organization.The fourth component, the OPI source indicator (OPIS), shall not be used if the third component is not used; it is optional whenthe OPI is used.
