BS ISO IEC ISP 11186-4-1997 (1999) PDF

Full title and description

STB BS ISO IEC ISP 11186-4-1997 (1999) — Information technology — International Standardized Profiles FVT3nn — Virtual Terminal Basic Class — Register of attribute assignment type definitions — Part 4: FVT322 — Font Assignment Type No. 2. This entry title appears to combine the original ISO/IEC ISP designation with national adoption labels (e.g. BS and STB) used by different national bodies for distribution or adoption of the ISO text.

Abstract

This part of ISO/IEC ISP 11186 defines the profile entry FVT322 (Font Assignment Type No. 2) for the Virtual Terminal Basic Class. It specifies the register entry structure, identifier and descriptor fields, abstract syntax and illustrative examples used to register a font-assignment attribute assignment type for use with the VT service and related OSI/VT profiles. The International Standard was published in 1997 and later withdrawn; national adoptions and sales listings exist under BSI and other distributors.

• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1997).
• Number of pages: Listings vary by distributor: ISO/standards extracts indicate about 6 pages for the ISO part text, while some national/adoption listings (BSI distribution copies) list up to 18 pages in their catalog entry. Users should consult the issuing body for the official page count of a purchased reproduction.

Scope

This standard defines the registration entry and format for a specific font-assignment attribute type (FVT322) used in Virtual Terminal (VT) Basic Class profiles. It establishes the identifier form (FVT3bc), descriptor values, font designation rules, abstract syntax and examples for registering font-assignment types so they can be referenced by VT service implementations and interoperable profile registries. The part is intended to fit within the ISO/IEC ISP 11186 family and the Functional Standardization framework.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of profile identifier format and allocation rules for FVT3nn entries (component meanings for b and c).
• Register entry fields: entry number, sponsoring authority name, date, identifier, descriptor value and font designation.
• Abstract syntax and ASN.1-based identifiers for attribute assignment types consistent with OSI VT base standards and ISO/IEC 9834-1 registration.
• Conformance principles for VT Profiles and illustrative examples (annex) demonstrating use with repertoire and font assignment types.
• Cross-references to related VT and registration standards (e.g. ISO/IEC 9040 series, ISO/IEC 9834-1).

Typical use and users

Implementers of OSI Virtual Terminal services, protocol and profile authors, standards committees and registry maintainers, system integrators concerned with terminal profile interoperability, and vendors producing VT-compliant terminal or font-interchange components. The part is mainly of interest to organizations implementing or registering VT attribute assignment types within the ISO/IEC ISP framework.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is ISO/IEC ISP 11186-4:1997 — Part 4 of the International Standardized Profiles for the Virtual Terminal Basic Class defining the FVT322 font-assignment registration entry (Font Assignment Type No. 2).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the structure and content of a register entry for a font-assignment attribute type used with the VT service: identifier format, descriptor fields, font designation rules, abstract syntax and illustrative examples for registration and interchange.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Standards developers, profile registry maintainers, implementers of OSI Virtual Terminal services, and vendors or integrators who need to reference or register VT attribute assignment types.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The International Standard (ISO/IEC ISP 11186-4:1997) is listed as withdrawn/cancelled. Distributor and national-adoption listings remain available for sale in some catalogs, but the ISO record indicates the part is no longer an active ISO standard. Users should consult their national body or the ISO catalogue for current status and any replacements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 4 of ISO/IEC ISP 11186 (the family of International Standardized Profiles for Virtual Terminal Basic Class), which also includes Parts 1–3 covering other FVT3nn entries (font, repertoire assignment types and related profiles).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Virtual Terminal, ISP 11186, FVT322, font assignment, attribute assignment type, ASN.1, profile registry, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
