41、esses for human usage) (This annex does not form an integral part of this Recommendation) VE VN VI WF EH YE YD w ZR ZM zw B.l Purpose An O/R address consists of a set of attribute values taken from a total of 31 possible attributes. In order to represent visually an address to a human user, and to e
42、nable the user to enter the address into a user interface, each attribute value needs to be associated with the correct attribute type. Many of the full attribute types given in Recommendation X.402 are too long for convenient usage on paper or a screen. There is a need for a format which aliows att
43、ributes to be represented concisely, e.g. on a business card. This annex specifies how addresses can be expressed concisely using labeis to represent the attribute types. There are three categories of amibutes: those standard mnemonic amibutes which are most likely to be found in OR addresses repres
44、ented for human exchange (e.g. on business cards), those used in physical delivery addresses, and other specialized amibutes (including domain defined attributes). In order to provide a format which is as concise as possible, many of the labels are single characters. This also makes them less langua
45、ge dependent. Subsection B.3 specifies the format for the representation of addresses, and 8 B.4 specifies the characteristics necessary for user interfaces which are intended to be used in conjunction with this format. B.2 Scope A labelled format for the communication of OR addresses to human users
46、 is specified. The format consists of a set of pairs of labels and aaribute-values. The characteristics of a user interface which are necessary to accept addresses given in this format are also specified. I is Annex is aligned with ISOIIEC 10021-2, Annex F(DAM) and is referenced in Recommendation X.
47、402 Recommendation F.401 (0” or Y, but only one of these can be used in one O/R address. If the value of any attribute contains the delimiter character, this is represented by a pair of delimiter characters. If the value of the fust attribute contains the alternate delimiter character, this is repre
48、sented by a pair of alternate delimiter characters. Note - When the label-value pairs appear in sequence on a line, the use of upper case for labels and lower case for the values makes the format clearer for the user. If an identifier is required to preface a labelled address, it is recommended that
49、 “X.400” be used. If an address is entirely composed of attributes contained in Table B-1F.401, it is recommended that the sequence of attributes in the address be that given in Table B-1F.401. If this sequence is incompatible with normal cultural conventions, an alternative sequence may be adopted for representations of addresses which are primarily intended for use within that culture. 14 Recommendation F.401 (08/p2) CCITT RECMN*F=40L 72 W 48b257L 0574558 885 W TABLE B-1F.401 Standard attributes of the mnemonic addreas form Attribute type Given name Initials Surn
