14、ration of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that commi

15、ttee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordan

16、ce with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires

17、approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 2709 was prepared by Technical Com

18、mittee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee SC 4, Technical interoperability. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 2709:1996), which has been technically revised to incorporate specification of the use of ISO/IEC 10646 using 8-bit Unicode Transformation F

21、ng all forms of material capable of bibliographic description as well as other types of records. It does not define the length or the content of individual records and does not assign any meaning to tags, indicators or identifiers, these specifications being the functions of an implementation format

22、. This International Standard describes a generalized structure, a framework designed specially for communications between data processing systems and not for use as a processing format within systems. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of

A more detailed structure is shown schematically in Figure 2, which includes four alternatives for the data se

34、ctions. Record label Directory Fields Record separator Figure 1 General structure A record contains the following fixed and variable-length elements in the sequence shown in Figure 2: a) record label (fixed length); b) directory (variable length); c) record identifier field (variable length); d) ref

35、erence fields (variable length); e) data fields (variable length); f) field separator(s); g) record separator. The directory, record identifier, reference fields and data fields shall each be terminated by a field separator, i.e. separator IS2 in accordance with lSO/IEC 646 or lSO/IEC 6429. The reco

36、rd shall be terminated by the record separator, i.e. separator IS3 in accordance with ISO/IEC 646 or lSO/IEC 6429. 4.2 Basic character encoding All data in the record label and directory, and the indicators, subfield identifiers, field separators, and record separators, shall be taken from the chara

37、cter repertoire of ISO/IEC 646, with one octet per character encoding as specified in ISO/IEC 646 or ISO 10646 with UTF-8 encoding. 4.3 Record label 4.3.1 General The record label shown in Figure 2 shall be fixed in length to 24 octets, each representing one character and the octet positions shall b

SANS 2709:2008This standard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS.ISO 2709:2008(E) 4 ISO 2008 All rights reserved4.3.2 Record length (octets 0 to 4) The record length shall be defined by the number of octets in the r

39、ecord, including the record label, directory, fields, and the record separator. The length is a five-digit decimal number, right-aligned with zero fill if necessary. NOTE The record length described here is a logical record length. For practical reasons relating to machine processing of data, it is

40、sometimes necessary to divide the information into blocks. 4.3.3 Record status (octet 5) The record status shall be defined by a single character, to be defined in an implementation International Standard, describing the status of a record, for example new or amended. In the absence of an Internatio

41、nal Standard, special agreement should be reached between the interchange partners. 4.3.4 Implementation codes (octets 6 to 9) The implementation codes are not defined in this International Standard. Special agreement should be reached between the interchange partners. 4.3.5 Indicator length (octet

42、10) The indicator length shall be defined by one decimal digit giving the number of octets of the indicators. If indicators are not used, the indicator length shall be set to zero. 4.3.6 Identifier length (octet 11) The identifier length shall be defined by one decimal digit giving the number of oct

43、ets of the identifier. The first or only character of this identifier shall always be IS1 in accordance with lSO/IEC 646 or ISO/IEC 6429. If the identifier is not used, the identifier length shall be set to zero. 4.3.7 Base address of data (octets 12 to 16) The base address of data shall be defined

44、by five decimal digits, right-aligned with zero fill if necessary, equal to the combined length in characters of the record label and the directory, including the field separator at the end of the directory. 4.3.8 Positions defined by user systems (octets 17 to 19) Octets positions 17 to 19 shall be

45、 defined by user systems. 4.3.9 Directory map The directory map positions shall be defined by the following. a) Octet 20: one decimal digit equal to the length in characters of the length of field part of each entry in the directory. b) Octet 21: one decimal digit equal to the length in characters o

46、f the starting character position part of each entry in the directory. c) Octet 22: one decimal digit equal to the length in characters of the implementation-defined part of each entry in the directory. d) Octet 23: reserved for future use.

The directory

48、 shall end with a field separator. 4.4.2 Directory entry An entry shall consist of the following parts in the given order: a) a tag; b) the length of the field; c) the starting character position; d) the implementation-defined part. The length of the tag shall be three octets. The length in octets o

49、f the other three parts in each directory entry shall be given by the directory map (octets 20 to 22 in the record label). All entries in a directory shall have the same structure. 4.4.3 Tag The tag shall consist of three octets which specify, according to definition in an implementation International Standard, the name of any associated field. In the absence of an International Standard, special agreement shall be reached between the interchange partners. 4.4.4 Length of field This length shall be either a) the total number of octet
