ITU-T Z.103 (04/2016) i Recommendation ITU-T Z.103 Specification and Description Language Shorthand notation and annotation in SDL-2010 Summary Scope/Objective Recommendation ITU-T Z.103 defines the shorthand and annotation features of the Specification and Description Language. T
7、ogether with Recommendations ITU-T Z.100, ITU-T Z.101, ITU-T Z.102, ITU-T Z.104, 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 document covers features of the language not included in Basic SDL-2010 in Recom
8、mendation ITU-T Z.101 or Comprehensive SDL-2010 in Recommendation ITU-T Z.102. Features defined in this Recommendation either do not have their own abstract grammar and are transformed to concrete grammar defined by Recommendations ITU-T Z.101, ITU-T Z.102 and ITU-T Z.104 (and ITU-T Z.107 for object
9、-oriented data), or are annotations with no formal meaning. Coverage The Specification and Description Language has concepts for behaviour, data description and (particularly for larger systems) structuring. The basis of behaviour description is extended finite state machines communicating by messag
10、es. Data description is based on data types for values and objects. The basis for structuring is hierarchical decomposition and type hierarchies. A distinctive feature of the Specification and Description Language is the graphical representation. This Recommendation covers the features of the langua
11、ge such as shorthand and alternative graphical concrete syntax and macros that make SDL-2010 easier and more practical to use. The concrete grammar given is the graphical representation. The alternative textual programming representation is given in Recommendation ITU-T Z.106. This Recommendation do
12、es not provide a canonical syntax, but by applying the Model descriptions given a specification can be transformed to Comprehensive SDL-2010 defined in ITU-T Z.102, or (if no Comprehensive SDL-2010 features are used) to Basic SDL-2010 as defined in SDL-2010. It should be noted that in both Basic and
13、 Comprehensive SDL-2010 the details of expressions, data definitions and action language, are defined in Recommendation ITU-T Z.104 (and ITU-T Z.107 for object-oriented data). Applications The Specification and Description Language is applicable within standard bodies and industry. The main applicat
14、ion areas for which the Specification and Description Language has been designed are stated in ITU-T Z.100, but the language is generally suitable for describing reactive systems. The range of application is from requirement description to implementation. The features of the language defined in Reco
15、mmendation ITU-T Z.103 are cumulative with, and rely on, the features defined in Recommendations ITU-T Z.101, ITU-T Z.102 and ITU-T Z.104 (plus ITU-T Z.107 for object-oriented data). Therefore the language defined in Recommendation ITU-T Z.103 is practical for application to all kinds of real time s
16、ystems (except if ASN.1 is also required in which case features defined in Recommendation ITU-T Z.105 should also be used, or if the specification needs to be in text only or interchange format in which case features defined in Recommendation ITU-T Z.106 should also be used) History Edition Recommen

ITU-T Z.103 (04/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommun
19、ications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU 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 telecommunic
20、ations on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization 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 procedur
21、e laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology 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 telecomm
22、unication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance 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
23、 mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory 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 dr

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members
25、or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of 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.

34、dation ITU-T Z.103 Specification and Description Language Shorthand notation and annotation in SDL-2010 1 Scope and objective This Recommendation defines features of the Specification and Description Language that make the language practical to use. The features defined in this document cover the sh
35、orthand notation and annotation for the language, which is defined further in the other Recommendations of the ITU-T Z.100 series. Together with Recommendations ITU-T Z.100, ITU-T Z.101, ITU-T Z.102, ITU-T Z.104, ITU-T Z.105, ITU-T Z.106 and ITU-T Z.107, this Recommendation forms a reference manual
36、for the language. 1.1 Objective The objective of this Recommendation is to define the features of the Specification and Description Language that are written using shorthand notation or are used to add annotation. The features defined in this Recommendation add to SDL-2010 features defined for Basic
37、 SDL-2010 or Comprehensive SDL-2010 or the data and action language in SDL-2010. The features do not rely on features defined for using ASN.1 or the use of the common interchange format. Shorthand notation is a concrete grammar that is transformed by a model into further concrete grammar before the
38、representation as abstract grammar is considered. The use of shorthand notation is important to make the use of the language practical, because the shorthand is easy to read, write and understand as well as being concise. A construct written using the concrete grammar defined by this Recommendation
39、is allowed to contain more than one shorthand; in some cases a shorthand is transformed through one (or more) other shorthand forms before a concrete grammar that does not contain any shorthand is obtained from which the abstract grammar is determined. Where the order of transformation is important,
40、 this is defined. An annotation adds information to a specification in the language that does not change the formal meaning of the specification. While such information does not change the formal meaning as far as the Specification and Description Language is concerned, annotations are important to
41、aid understanding of the purpose and intention of a specification or how an SDL-2010 specification interacts with or is interpreted by another language (such as the Message Sequence Chart language). 1.2 Application This Recommendation is part of the reference manual for the Specification and Descrip
42、tion Language. The part of the language defined by this Recommendation includes additional concrete syntax for shorthand notations and Model sections for the shorthand. It also includes the concrete syntax for additional annotation not included Basic SDL-2010 or Comprehensive SDL-2010 or the data an
43、d action language in SDL-2010. The part of the language defined in this Recommendation is required to make the use of the language practical. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
