Annotation

This International Standardized Profile specifies interchange formats for the transfer of structured documents between equipment designed for word or document processing. Such documents contain character content.

documents that can be interchanged using this International Standardized Profile range from memos and letters to simple structured documents. This International Standardized Profile provides a comprehensive level of features for the transfer of documents between these systems.

This International Standardized Profile allows documents to be interchanged in the following forms:

— formatted form;

— processable form;

formatted processable form.

The architecture levels defined for these three forms have matching functionalities so that the interchange formats of a document are convertible from a processable form to any other form.

This International Standardized Profile is independent of the processes carried out in an end system to create, edit or reproduce documents. It is also independent of the means to transfer documents which, for example, may be by means of communication links or storage media.

A document structured in accordance with this International Standardized Profile is represented for interchange by one of two DAPs. One DAP uses the Office Document Interchange Format (ODIF), the other DAP uses the Office Document Language (ODL), both as defined in ISO 8613-5.
