Information et documentation — Répertoire des éléments de données bibliographiques — Partie 4: Applications à la circulation

La présente partie de l'ISO 8459 prescrit et décrit les éléments de données nécessaires à l'échange de données entre les systèmes de circulation (c'est-à-dire de terminal à ordinateur ou d'ordinateur à ordinateur). Elle identifie aussi les messages et leurs éléments de données utilisés dans les systèmes de circulation.Elle s'applique aussi bien aux transactions de circulation en ligne qu'à celles en différé.L'annexe B donne des exemples d'utilisation de la présente partie de l'ISO 8459.La structuration des éléments de données en messages est hors du domaine d'application de la présente partie de l'ISO 8459.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a
worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member
bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body
interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees
are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the
member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 8459-4 was prepared by Technical
Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 4, Computer applications in information and documentation.
IS0 8459 consists of the following parts, under the general title

Introduction
Data are interchanged for the purpose of starting or supporting a
process. In order to transmit information required to support a
process, the various elements of data in the interchanged messages
must be fully understandable to the processes concerned. This part of
IS0 8459 describes, in the form of a directory, data elements used to
support circulation processes.
The data elements that may occur in a circulation transaction are
presented in four ways:
a) A data element directory (see clause 4) with annexes containing
code values and description for messages (see A. 1) and date/time
qualifier (see A.2).
An index (see clause 5) consisting of names, keywords and
b)
synonyms for data elements and data element values including
names assigned to messages.
c) A structured order of data elements (see clause 6) which relates
similar data elements in a hierarchical fashion.
A matrix (see clause 7) showing the data elements pertaining to
d)
specific circulation messages.
This part of IS0 8459 is the fourth part in a series which will, when
complete, comprise a comprehensive data element directory for
bibliographic use. This part of IS0 8459 is primarily intended for
new circulation systems, for the exchange of circulation messages
between different systems and for the exchange of data between
client and server in the client/server model.

Part 4:
Circulation applications
1 Scope
This part of IS0 8459 specifies and describes data elements required in the interchange of data between
circulation systems (i.e. terminal to computer or computer to computer). It also identifies messages and
their data elements which are used in circulation systems.
It is intended to support both batch and interactive circulation transactions.
Annex B provides examples of how this part of IS0 8459 may be used.
The structuring of the data elements into messages falls outside the scope of this part of IS0 8459.

4 Directory
The directory names and defines data elements and data element groups used to support circulation
transactions. The information pertaining to each data element or data element group is presented in four
separate columns, labelled tag, name, description and representation. A “tag” is used to identify a data
element as well as a data element group. “Name” contains data element names and data element group
names. Data element group names are printed in bold letters to distinguish them from data element
names. “Description” includes a definition for each data element or data element group followed by a list
of corresponding tags for data elements that comprise the group. “Representation and Remarks” includes
explanatory text about conventions and/or standards used to represent values applicable to a data element
or a data element group as well as sample values, if applicable.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a
worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member
bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body
interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees
are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the
member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 8459-4 was prepared by Technical
Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 4, Computer applications in information and documentation.
IS0 8459 consists of the following parts, under the general title

Introduction
Data are interchanged for the purpose of starting or supporting a
process. In order to transmit information required to support a
process, the various elements of data in the interchanged messages
must be fully understandable to the processes concerned. This part of
IS0 8459 describes, in the form of a directory, data elements used to
support circulation processes.
The data elements that may occur in a circulation transaction are
presented in four ways:
a) A data element directory (see clause 4) with annexes containing
code values and description for messages (see A. 1) and date/time
qualifier (see A.2).
An index (see clause 5) consisting of names, keywords and
b)
synonyms for data elements and data element values including
names assigned to messages.
c) A structured order of data elements (see clause 6) which relates
similar data elements in a hierarchical fashion.
A matrix (see clause 7) showing the data elements pertaining to
d)
specific circulation messages.
This part of IS0 8459 is the fourth part in a series which will, when
complete, comprise a comprehensive data element directory for
bibliographic use. This part of IS0 8459 is primarily intended for
new circulation systems, for the exchange of circulation messages
between different systems and for the exchange of data between
client and server in the client/server model.

Circulation applications
1 Scope
This part of IS0 8459 specifies and describes data elements required in the interchange of data between
circulation systems (i.e. terminal to computer or computer to computer). It also identifies messages and
their data elements which are used in circulation systems.
It is intended to support both batch and interactive circulation transactions.
Annex B provides examples of how this part of IS0 8459 may be used.
The structuring of the data elements into messages falls outside the scope of this part of IS0 8459.

4 Directory
The directory names and defines data elements and data element groups used to support circulation
transactions. The information pertaining to each data element or data element group is presented in four
separate columns, labelled tag, name, description and representation. A “tag” is used to identify a data
element as well as a data element group. “Name” contains data element names and data element group
names. Data element group names are printed in bold letters to distinguish them from data element
names. “Description” includes a definition for each data element or data element group followed by a list
of corresponding tags for data elements that comprise the group. “Representation and Remarks” includes
explanatory text about conventions and/or standards used to represent values applicable to a data element
or a data element group as well as sample values, if applicable.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a
worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member
bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body
interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees
are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the
member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 8459-4 was prepared by Technical
Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 4, Computer applications in information and documentation.
IS0 8459 consists of the following parts, under the general title
Information and documentation - Bibliographic data element

- Part 1: Interloan applications
- Part 2: Acquisitions applications
- Part 3: Information retrieval applications

Introduction
Data are interchanged for the purpose of starting or supporting a
process. In order to transmit information required to support a
process, the various elements of data in the interchanged messages
must be fully understandable to the processes concerned. This part of
IS0 8459 describes, in the form of a directory, data elements used to
support circulation processes.
The data elements that may occur in a circulation transaction are
presented in four ways:
a) A data element directory (see clause 4) with annexes containing
code values and description for messages (see A. 1) and date/time
qualifier (see A.2).
An index (see clause 5) consisting of names, keywords and
b)
synonyms for data elements and data element values including
names assigned to messages.
c) A structured order of data elements (see clause 6) which relates
similar data elements in a hierarchical fashion.
A matrix (see clause 7) showing the data elements pertaining to
d)
specific circulation messages.
This part of IS0 8459 is the fourth part in a series which will, when
complete, comprise a comprehensive data element directory for
bibliographic use. This part of IS0 8459 is primarily intended for
new circulation systems, for the exchange of circulation messages
between different systems and for the exchange of data between
client and server in the client/server model.

Circulation applications
1 Scope
This part of IS0 8459 specifies and describes data elements required in the interchange of data between
circulation systems (i.e. terminal to computer or computer to computer). It also identifies messages and
their data elements which are used in circulation systems.
It is intended to support both batch and interactive circulation transactions.
Annex B provides examples of how this part of IS0 8459 may be used.
The structuring of the data elements into messages falls outside the scope of this part of IS0 8459.

The directory names and defines data elements and data element groups used to support circulation
transactions. The information pertaining to each data element or data element group is presented in four
separate columns, labelled tag, name, description and representation. A “tag” is used to identify a data
element as well as a data element group. “Name” contains data element names and data element group
names. Data element group names are printed in bold letters to distinguish them from data element
names. “Description” includes a definition for each data element or data element group followed by a list
of corresponding tags for data elements that comprise the group. “Representation and Remarks” includes
explanatory text about conventions and/or standards used to represent values applicable to a data element
or a data element group as well as sample values, if applicable.

Avant-propos
L ’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une federation
mondiale d ’organismes nationaux de normalisation (comites membres de
I ’ISO). L ’elaboration des Normes internationales est en general confiee aux
comites techniques de I ’ISO. Chaque comite membre interesse par une
etude a le droit de faire partie du comite technique tree a cet effet. Les
organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales,
en liaison avec I ’ISO participent egalement aux travaux. L ’ISO collabore
etroitement avec la Commission electrotechnique internationale (CEI) en
ce qui concerne la normalisation electrotechnique.
Les projets de Normes internationales adopt& par les comites techniques
sont soumis aux comites membres pour vote. Leur publication comme
Normes internationales requiert I ’approbation de 75 % au moins des
comites membres votants.

Introduction
Les echanges de donnees servent a initialiser ou a poursuivre une
procedure. La transmission des donnees necessaires au deroulement
d ’une procedure exige que les differents elements de donnees des
messages &hang& soient parfaitement comprehensibles dans les
procedures engagees. La presente partie de I ’ISO 8459 decrit sous forme
de repertoire les elements de donnees utilises dans les procedures de
circulation des documents.
Les elements de donnees dans une transaction de circulation sont
present& de quatre facons.
a) Un repertoire des elements de donnees (voir article 4) avec des
annexes donnant les valeurs des codes et la description des
messages (voir A.l) et des dates (voir A.2).
b) Un index (voir article 5) englobant des noms, les mots-cl& et les
synonymes des elements de donnees et leurs valeurs y compris les
noms assign& aux messages.
c) Une presentation structuree des elements de donnees (voir article 6)
regroupant les elements de donnees semblables de facon hierarchique.
Un tableau (voir article 7) indiquant les elements de donnees qui se
d)
rattachent aux messages specifiques de circulation.
La presente partie de I ’ISO 8459 est la quatrieme partie d ’une serie qui,
une fois completee, constituera le repertoire complet des elements de
donnees destines a un usage bibliographique. La presente pat-tie de
I ’ISO 8459 est surtout destinee aux nouveaux systemes de circulation pour
I ’echange des messages entre differents systemes, et pour I ’echange de
donnees entre le client et le seweur dans I ’architecture clientkerveur.

Le repertoire indique le nom et la definition des elements de donnees et des groupes d ’elements de donnees
utilises dans les transactions de circulation. Les donnees relatives a chaque element de donnees ou groupe
d ’elements de donnees sont presentees en quatre colonnes distinctes avec les en-tetes, etiquette, nom, description
et representation. Une “etiquette” est utilisee pour identifier un element de donnees aussi bien qu ’un groupe. “Nom”
veut dire “nom d ’un element de donnees” ou “nom d ’un groupe d ’elements de donnees ”. Le nom d ’un groupe
d ’elements de donnees est imprime en caracteres gras pour le distinguer des noms d ’elements de donnees. La
“description” comprend une definition pour chaque groupe ou element de donnees, suivie, le cas echeant, d ’une
liste d ’etiquettes correspondantes qui composent le groupe. La colonne “representation et remarques” comprend
des testes explicatifs sur les conventions et/au normes utilisees pour decrire les valeurs applicables aux elements
ou aux groupes d ’elements de donnees, ainsi que des echantillons de valeurs, le cas echeant.
