ITU-T Z.104 (04/2016) i Recommendation ITU-T Z.104 Specification and Description Language Data and action language in SDL-2010 Summary Scope/Objective Recommendation ITU-T Z.104 defines the data features of the Specification and Description Language so that data definitions and expressions
7、 are well defined. Together with Recommendations ITU-T Z.100, ITU-T Z.101, ITU-T Z.102, ITU-T Z.103, ITU-T Z.105, ITU-T Z.106 and ITU-T Z.107, this Recommendation is part of a reference manual for the language. The language defined in this Recommendation partially overlaps features of the language i
8、ncluded in Basic SDL-2010 in Recommendation ITU-T Z.101 and used in Comprehensive SDL-2010 in Recommendation ITU-T Z.102 and the features of Recommendation ITU-T Z.103. Coverage The Specification and Description Language has concepts for behaviour, data description and (particularly for larger syste
9、ms) structuring. The basis of behaviour description is extended finite state machines communicating by messages. Data description is based on data types for values. The basis for structuring is hierarchical decomposition and type hierarchies. Though a distinctive feature of the Specification and Des
10、cription Language is the graphical representation, the data and expression language is textual. This Recommendation covers the features of the language used to encode and decode data communicated by channels, define data types with values and operations and variables (including parameters) based on
11、data types and expression actions that use the data types. This Recommendation does not always provide a canonical syntax, but by applying the Model descriptions given, a specification is transformed to Basic SDL-2010 defined in ITU-T Z.101 except in those cases where additional abstract syntax is a
12、dded in this Recommendation. Object-oriented data in ITU-T Z.107 is an extension to this Recommendation. Applications The Specification and Description Language is applicable within standards bodies and industry. The main application areas for which the Specification and Description Language has bee
13、n designed are stated in Recommendation ITU-T Z.100, but the language is generally suitable for describing reactive systems. The range of applications is from requirement description to implementation. The features of the language defined in Recommendation ITU-T Z.104 are essential for the data with

ITU-T Z.104 (04/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The IT
17、U Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardiz
18、ation Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information tech
19、nology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Complia
20、nce with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obli
21、gatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementatio
22、n of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of
23、the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to

ITU-T Z.104 (04/2016) Introduction Status/Stability This Recommendation is part of the ITU-T Z.100 to ITU-T Z.107 series of Recommendations that give the complete language reference manual for SDL-2010. The text
34、of this Recommendation is stable. For more details see Recommendation ITU-T Z.100. Rec. ITU-T Z.104 (04/2016) 1 Recommendation ITU-T Z.104 Specification and Description Language Data and action language in SDL-2010 1 Scope and objective This Recommendation defines the data and action language featur
35、es of the Specification and Description Language. The features defined in this document include: encoding and decoding of data communicated over channels, the definition of data types (including interfaces), the definition of variables (including parameters), the definition and application of operat
36、ions, the evaluation of expressions and assignment of values to variables. Without these features the language would be of limited use. For this reason, even very simple specifications in the Specification and Description Language use ITU-T Z.104 features. Together with ITU-T Z.100, ITU-T Z.101, ITU
37、-T Z.102, ITU-T Z.103, ITU-T Z.105, ITU-T Z.106 and ITU-T Z.107, this Recommendation forms a reference manual for the language. 1.1 Objective The objective of this Recommendation is to fully define the data related features of the Specification and Description Language (except ITU-T Z.105 and ITU-T
38、Z.107 features). Some of the ITU-T Z.104 material is also in ITU-T Z.100 and ITU-T Z.101. These definitions should be entirely consistent. The difference between the descriptions in ITU-T Z.100 and ITU-T Z.101 and the definition in Recommendation ITU-T Z.104 is that the former descriptions are overv
39、iews to enable data to be used with other features of SDL-2010, whereas the ITU-T Z.104 definition is intended to be complete (with the exception of definition of data types in ASN.1 modules and object-oriented see ITU-T Z.105 and ITU-T Z.107 respectively). Recommendation ITU-T Z.104 also includes a
40、 mechanism for binding data definitions and actions expressed in the concrete syntax from other notations as described in Annex C to the abstract grammar and semantics of SDL-2010 and data binding in clause 7.2. By default the concrete grammar is as given in the main body of ITU-T Z.104 or ITU-T Z.1
41、01, ITU-T Z.102, ITU-T Z.103, ITU-T Z.105, ITU-T Z.106 and ITU-T Z.107. 1.2 Application This Recommendation is part of the reference manual for the Specification and Description Language. The use of data is so fundamental, that even the simplest specifications need some data language features. There
42、fore, it is almost certain that some features defined in Recommendation ITU-T Z.104 will appear in any specification in SDL-2010. 2 Rec.
