The work of preparing International Standard
9、s 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 committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take
10、part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is t
11、o 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 approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility
12、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 Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee SC 4, Technical interoperability. This
13、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 Format (UTF-8) encoding. Consequently, lengths are specified in terms of octets instead of characters.

16、hange 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the requirements for a generalized exchange format which will hold records describing 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 a
17、nd does not assign any meaning to tags, indicators or identifiers, these specifications being the functions of an implementation format. This International Standard describes a generalized structure, a framework designed specially for communications between data processing systems and not for use as
18、 a processing format within systems. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

A more detailed structure is shown sch
30、ematically in Figure 2, which includes four alternatives for the data sections. 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
31、 (variable length); c) record identifier field (variable length); d) reference 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
32、. separator IS2 in accordance with lSO/IEC 646 or lSO/IEC 6429. The record 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
33、, field separators, and record separators, shall be taken from the character 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
34、 octets, each representing one character and the octet positions shall be as defined in 4.3.2 to 4.3.9.

The length is a five-digit de
36、cimal 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 sometimes necessary to divide the information into blocks. 4.3.3 Record status (octet 5) The record status sh
37、all 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 International Standard, special agreement should be reached between the interchange partners. 4.3.4 Implementation code
38、s (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 10) The indicator length shall be defined by one decimal digit giving the number of octets of the indicators.
39、 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 octets of the identifier. The first or only character of this identifier shall always be IS1 in accordance with
40、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 by five decimal digits, right-aligned with zero fill if necessary, equal to the combined length in characters
41、 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 defined by user systems. 4.3.9 Directory map The directory map positions shall be defined by the following.
42、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 of the starting character position part of each entry in the directory. c) Octet 22: one decimal digit equal t
43、o the length in characters of the implementation-defined part of each entry in the directory. d) Octet 23: reserved for future use.

The
45、directory 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
46、 octets of 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 In
47、ternational 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 octets including indicator(s) and field separator in the
48、field indicated by the preceding tag, or b) zero, implying that the directory entry refers to a field whose total length is greater than the largest decimal number (n) which can be stored in the “length” of field part of a directory entry (see Note), or c) the number of octets (including field separator) in the final part of a field which has been treated as described in b). NOTE In the case of b), the field is regarded as being divided into a number of parts, of which all but
