Foreword
This ETSI Standard (ES) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Telecommunications and Internet
converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking (TISPAN).
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering Open Service Access (OSA); Application
Programming Interface (API), as identified below. The API specification (ES 203 915) is structured in the following
parts:
Part 1: "Overview";
Part 2: "Common Data Definitions";
Part 3: "Framework";
Part 4: "Call Control";
Part 5: "User Interaction SCF";
Part 6: "Mobility SCF";
Part 7: "Terminal Capabilities SCF";
Part 8: "Data Session Control SCF";
Part 9: "Generic Messaging SCF";
Part 10: "Connectivity Manager SCF";
Part 11: "Account Management SCF";
Part 12: "Charging SCF";
Part 13: "Policy Management SCF";
Part 14: "Presence and Availability Management SCF";
Part 15: "Multi-Media Messaging SCF".
The present document has been defined jointly between ETSI, The Parlay Group (http://www.parlay.org) and the 3GPP,
in co-operation with a number of JAIN™ Community (http://www.java.sun.com/products/jain) member companies.
The present document forms part of the Parlay 5.2 set of specifications.
The present document is equivalent to 3GPP TS 29.198-1 V6.5.0 (Release 6).

1 Scope
The present document is part 1 of the Stage 3 specification for an Application Programming Interface for Open Service
Access (OSA), and provides an overview of the content and structure of the various parts of the present document, and
of the relation to other standards documents.
The OSA specifications define an architecture that enables service application developers to make use of network
functionality through an open standardized interface, i.e. the OSA APIs.

References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or
non-specific.
• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
• Non-specific reference may be made only to a complete document or a part thereof and only in the following
cases:
- if it is accepted that it will be possible to use all future changes of the referenced document for the
purposes of the referring document;
- for informative references.
Referenced documents which are not found to be publicly available in the expected location might be found at
http://docbox.etsi.org/Reference.
For online referenced documents, information sufficient to identify and locate the source shall be provided. Preferably,
the primary source of the referenced document should be cited, in order to ensure traceability. Furthermore, the
reference should, as far as possible, remain valid for the expected life of the document. The reference shall include the
method of access to the referenced document and the full network address, with the same punctuation and use of upper
case and lower case letters.

Foreword
This ETSI Standard (ES) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Telecommunications and Internet
converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking (TISPAN).
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering Open Service Access (OSA); Application
Programming Interface (API), as identified below. The API specification (ES 203 915) is structured in the following
parts:
Part 1: "Overview";
Part 2: "Common Data Definitions";
Part 3: "Framework";
Part 4: "Call Control";
Part 5: "User Interaction SCF";
Part 6: "Mobility SCF";
Part 7: "Terminal Capabilities SCF";
Part 8: "Data Session Control SCF";
Part 9: "Generic Messaging SCF";
Part 10: "Connectivity Manager SCF";
Part 11: "Account Management SCF";
Part 12: "Charging SCF";
Part 13: "Policy Management SCF";
Part 14: "Presence and Availability Management SCF";
Part 15: "Multi-Media Messaging SCF".
The present document has been defined jointly between ETSI, The Parlay Group (http://www.parlay.org) and the 3GPP,
in co-operation with a number of JAIN™ Community (http://www.java.sun.com/products/jain) member companies.
The present document forms part of the Parlay 5.2 set of specifications.

1 Scope
The present document is part 1 of the Stage 3 specification for an Application Programming Interface for Open Service
Access (OSA), and provides an overview of the content and structure of the various parts of the present document, and
of the relation to other standards documents.
The OSA specifications define an architecture that enables service application developers to make use of network
functionality through an open standardized interface, i.e. the OSA APIs.
