12、BS 8766:2004 BSI 23 May 2005 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies a data structure for recording names and identifiers of individuals and groups for the purposes of interoperability between information systems. The data structure is presented as a data model in Unified Modelling Language (UML).
13、 The model is formed around six basic classes of objects: person (see 4.1); person name (see 4.2); person identifier (see 4.3); group (see 4.4); group name (see 4.5) and group identifier (see 4.6). This British Standard defines the attributes of these classes of objects in structured English and in
14、tabular format, and specifies the name of the attribute, the UML form of the attribute name, the definition of the attribute, whether the attribute is mandatory or optional, whether there can one be a single value of the attribute, or whether multiple values are allowed and the allowable values. Thi
15、s British Standard also presents the attributes as an example XML schema (see Annex E). This British Standard does not define how individual and group names are created. It does not prescribe any personal or group identifiers but does allow the use of existing identifiers such as National Insurance
16、Number or customer reference number. This British Standard is aimed at information specialists, systems developers and users who have a primary interest or involvement in the interoperability of information systems that use names and identifiers of individuals and groups. 2 Normative references The
17、following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 8601, Data elements and interchange formats Infor
18、mation interchange Representation of dates and times. 3 Terms and definitions For purposes of this British Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 group (GROUP) set of people identifiable by some criteria for example a family or household, or formally constituted body for example a
19、company or club NOTEThis corresponds to the object class GROUP in the UML model. 3.2 group identifier (GROUPID) external identifier of the group, for example the company registration number NOTEThis corresponds to the object class GROUPID in the UML model. 3.3 group name (GROUPNAME) name used to ide
20、ntify a group NOTEThis corresponds to the object class GROUPNAME in the UML model. 3.4 person (PERSON) individual human being NOTEThis corresponds to the object class PERSON in the UML model. Examples of attributes that can be used for civil and registration purposes are given in Annex A. Licensed C

23、ed in 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 and in accordance with Table 1. NOTE 1A UML model is shown in Annex B, which also shows the associations with the other classes. Examples are given in Annex C. NOTE 2As appropriate, additional attributes can be added by the user in the context of a particular application. NOTE
24、3Tests for checking conformance for PERSON are given in Annex D (see D.1). NOTE 4A person can also have a relationship to a group (membership), where a person can be a member of one or more groups. Table 1 Attributes of person All dates shall be recorded in accordance with ISO 8601, consistently eit

31、given in Annex D (see D.2). Punctuation such as hyphens shall not be included in any attribute, unless it is a stated component of the attribute (e.g. “ORourke”). Where a person has only one name, for example “Prince”, it shall be used for the family name. Initials shall be recorded with a space bet
