Editorial Comments

(1) Subclauses

All the subclause should be assigned with their subclause numbers.

 

(2) "Document interchange standards" in "ISO 9070 public text object identifiers for

standardized data notations"

 

Hytime: ISO/IEC 10744:1992 should be ISO/IEC 10744:1997.

ISO maths: ISO/IEC TR9593 should be ISO/IEC TR9573-13.

 

(3) ISO/IEC 9070

 

Last para of "Foreword"

"ISO 9070" should be "ISO/IEC 9070".

2nd line of "References"

"ISO 9070:1991" should be "ISO/IEC 9070:1991".

"Miscellaneous standards" in "ISO 9070 public text object identifiers for standardized data notations"

Public identifiers: "ISO/IEC 9070:1987" should be "ISO/IEC 9070:1991".

 

(4) ISO 9070 public identifier

 

Last line of "ISO/IEC 9070 names"

"ISO/IEC 9070" public identifiers should be "ISO 9070" public identifiers.

General comments

 

Throughout the text,

 

Number the clauses.

 

Specific comments

 

Page 3, third bullet at top

 

The correct standard has not been referenced. ISO 2375 is a procedure for registration of escape sequences.

 

Page 3 and pages 13, 14

 

The two entries for TR 9573 are incorrect. There are no parts entitled Chemistry Markup or Mathematics Markup either published or in the work programme. Is a reference to TR 9573-13:1991 (Public entity sets for mathematics and science) intended?

 

Page 4 and page 10

 

Delete ISO/IEC 8613-15. It was cancelled when SC 18/WG 3 was wound up.

 

 

Page 5 and page 18

 

ISO/IEC 10918 now has two Parts published: Part 1 in 1994 and Part 5 in 1995:

Information technology - Digital compression and coding of continuous-tone still images:

Requirements and guidelines

Information technology - Digital compression and coding of continuous-tone still images:

Compliance testing

 

Page 5 and page 19

 

ISO/IEC 13818-7 has not yet been published. The DIS is in the Technical Programme with a target publication date of 98-12.

 

Page 6 and page 11

 

ISO/IEC 8824 is now a 4-part standard published in 1995:

Information technology - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) : Specification of basic notation

Information technology - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) : Information object specification

Information technology - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) : Constraint specification

Information technology - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) : Parametrization of ASN.1 specifications

 

Page 7 and page 16

 

ISO/IEC 10175 is a 2-part standard published in 1996:

Information technology - Text and office systems - Document Printing Application (DPA) -

Part 1: Abstract service definition and procedures

Information technology - Text and office systems - Document Printing Application (DPA) -

Part 2: Protocol specification

 

Page 7

 

Note that the copyright date and the publication date of this Technical Report will have to be updated to correspond to the actual date (probably 1999).

 

Page 19

 

Move the three entries relating to ISO/IEC 13818 to follow the entry for ISO/IEC 13522-3, so that the numerical ordering of the ISO standards is maintained.

 

 

Minor editorial corrections

 

The UK has given the project editor a copy of the PDTR marked up to show

minor corrections to the text and corrections to the dates and titles of

standards that are referenced.

U.S. Comments supporting the Approval vote for ISO/IEC PDTR 9573-9

p.2, 1st para, first sentence: Change "between" to "among"

 

p.3, 1st full para, first sentence: Replace "encoded" with "represented"

 

Replade last two sentences with:

 

Public identifiers identify notations in a system-independent manner; sysem identifiers do so in a system-dependent way . These identifiers may, for instance, identify documentation that defines the notation, the processor that was used to create the data, or a process that is intended to apply to the data.

 

Next paragraph: Change "between" to "among"

 

Scope, first paragraph: change "will facilitate the interchange of data encoded using internationally standardized data formats" to "facilitates the interchange of data represented in internationally standardized notations ("data formats")"

 

p.4, second bullet list, first item, change "sequence" to "delimiter"
