Introduction
To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is necessary to have a statement of which
capabilities and options have been implemented for a telecommunication specification. Such a statement
is called a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS).
This ETS has been produced to facilitate the interconnection of telecommunication systems to provide
directory services as part of the core Intelligent Network Application Protocol (INAP). The set of all such
systems, together with the directory information which they hold, can be viewed as an integrated whole,
called the Directory. The information held by the Directory, collectively known as the Directory Information
Base (DIB), is typically used to facilitate communication between, with or about objects such as
application entities of the Intelligent Network (IN) Capability Set 1 (CS1) Service Control Function (SCF) -
Service Data Function (SDF) interface.

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 374-6:1999
Page 6
ETS 300 374-6: September 1998
The Directory plays a significant role in Open Systems Interconnection (OSI), whose aim is to allow, with a
minimum of technical agreement outside of the interconnection standards themselves, the interconnection
of telecommunication systems:
- from different manufacturers;
- under different managements;
- of different levels of complexity; and
- of different ages.

Annex A (normative): PICS proforma for ETS 300 374-5
Notwithstanding the provisions of the copyright clause related to the text of this ETS, ETSI grants that
users of this ETS may freely reproduce the PICS proforma in this annex so that it can be used for its
intended purposes and may further publish the completed PICS.
A.1 Guidance for completing the PICS proforma
A.1.1 Purposes and structure
The purpose of this PICS proforma is to provide a mechanism whereby a supplier of an implementation of
the requirements defined in ETS 300 374-5 [1] may provide information about the implementation in a
standardized manner.
The PICS proforma is subdivided into subclauses for the following categories of information:
- instructions for completing the PICS proforma;
- identification of the implementation;
- identification of the reference specification;
- PICS proforma tables;
- global statement of conformance;
- IN Directory information objects supported;
- operations and extensibility supported;
- parameters;
- Directory schema.
A.1.2 Abbreviations and conventions
The PICS proforma contained in this annex is comprised of information in tabular form in accordance with
the guidelines presented in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [9] and ETS 300 406 [2].
Item column
The item column contains a number which identifies the item in the table.
Item description column
The item description column describes in free text each respective item (e.g. parameters, timers, etc.). It
implicitly means "is supported by the implementation?".
Status column
The following notations, defined in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [9], are used for the status column:
m mandatory - the capability is required to be supported.
o optional - the capability may be supported or not.
n/a not applicable - in the given context, it is impossible to use the capability.
i irrelevant or out-of-scope - this capability is outside the scope of this
specification , and hence irrelevant and not subject to conformance testing for
this specification.
x prohibited (excluded) - there is a requirement not to use this capability in the
given context.
o.i qualified optional - for mutually exclusive or selectable options from a set. "i" is
an integer which identifies an unique group of related optional items and the
logic of their selection which is defined immediately following the table.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 374-6:1999
Page 10
ETS 300 374-6: September 1998
ci conditional - the requirement on the capability ("m", "o", "x" or "n/a") depends on
the support of other optional or conditional items. "i" is an integer identifying an
unique conditional status expression which is defined immediately following the
table.
c:o conditional optional - the capability may be supported or not if the hierarchically
preceding capability is supported.
c:m conditional mandatory - the capability is required to be supported if the
hierarchically preceding capability is supported.
Reference column
The reference column gives reference to the requirements defined in ETS 300 374-5 [1], except where
explicitly stated otherwise.
Support column
The support column shall be filled in by the supplier of the implementation. The following common
notations, defined in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [9], are used for the support column:
Y or y supported by the implementation.
N or n not supported by the implementation.
N/A, n/a or - no answer required (allowed only if the status is n/a or i, directly or after
evaluation of a conditional status).
If this PICS proforma is completed in order to describe a multiple-profile support in a system, it is
necessary to be able to answer that a capability is supported for one profile and not supported for another.
In that case, the supplier shall enter the unique reference to a conditional expression, preceded by "?"
(e.g. ?3). This expression shall be given in the cell provided at the bottom of the table. It uses predicates
defined in the SCS, each of which refers to a single profile and which takes the value TRUE if and only if
that profile is to be used.
EXAMPLE: ?3: IF prof1 THEN Y ELSE N
It is also possible to provide a comment to an answer in the space provided at the bottom of the table.
NOTE: As stated in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [9], support for a PDU requires the ability to parse all valid
parameters of that PDU. Supporting a PDU while having no ability to parse a valid
parameter is non-conformant. Support for a parameter on a PDU means that the
semantics of that parameter are supported.
Values allowed column
The values allowed column contains the values or the ranges of values allowed.
Values supported column
The values supported column shall be filled in by the supplier of the implementation. In this column, the
values or the ranges of values supported by the implementation shall be indicated.
References to items
For each possible item answer (answer in the support column) within the PICS proforma exists a unique
reference, used, for example, in the conditional expressions. It is defined as the table identifier, followed
by a solidus character "/", followed by the item number in the table. If there is more than one support
column in a table, the columns shall be discriminated by letters (a, b, etc.), respectively.
EXAMPLE 1: A.5/4 is the reference to the answer of item 4 in table 5 of annex A.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 374-6:1999
Page 11
ETS 300 374-6: September 1998
EXAMPLE 2: A.6/3b is the reference to the second answer (i.e. in the second support column)
of item 3 in table 6 of annex A.
Prerequisite line
A prerequisite line takes the form: Prerequisite: .
A prerequisite line after a clause or table title indicates that the whole clause or the whole table is not
required to be completed if the predicate is FALSE.
A.1.3 Instructions for completing the PICS proforma
The supplier of the implementation shall complete the PICS proforma in each of the spaces provided.
More detailed instructions are given at the beginning of the different subclauses of the PICS proforma.
A.2 Identification of the implementation
Identification of the Implementation Under Test (IUT) and the system in which it resides (the System
Under Test (SUT)) should be filled in so as to provide as much detail as possible regarding version
numbers and configuration options.
The product supplier information and client information should both be filled in if they are different.
A person who can answer queries regarding information supplied in the PICS should be named as the
contact person.
