Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a world-
wide 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 Elec-
trotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical stan-
dardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Inter-
national Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member
bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 1016 1 was prepared by Technical Com-
mittee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation.
Annexes A to D form an integral part of this International Standard.
Annexes E and F are for information only.
IS0 10161 consists of the following parts, under the general title
Information and documentation - Open Systems Interconnection -
Interlibrary Loan Application Protocol Specification:
- Part I: Protocol specification
- Part 2: Protocol implementation conformance statement pro-
forma

---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
Introduction
This standard is one of a set of Intemational Standards produced to facilitate the intercon-
nection of computer systems. It is related to other international standards in the set as
defined by the Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection (IS0 7498). The Ref-
erence Model subdivides the area of standardization for interconnection into a series of
layers of specification, each of manageable size.
The aim of Open Systems Interconnection is to allow, with a minimum of technical agree-
ment outside the interconnection standards, the interconnection of computer systems:
a. from different manufacturers,
b. under different managements,
of different levels of complexity,
c.
d. of different ages.
This International Standard provides a protocol specification for Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
communication. The ILL protocol operates in the Application Layer and allows the par-
ties involved in an ILL-transaction to progress through the ILL-transaction in an orderly
and defined way.
10160, the
The ILL protocol has been designed to support the ILL services defined in IS0
ILL Application Service Definition.
This International Standard is one of a number of related standards supporting the inter-
connection of library systems. These standards can be used by themselves or in a coopera-
tive manner to support library applications requiring a mixture of communications ser-
vices. For example, IS0 10163, which supports remote access to bibliographic databases,
could be used in conjunction with the ILL protocol to obtain item identification informa-
tion. The control and management of interactions among such bibliographic applications
are local matters that are outside the scope of this International Standard.
Security and accounting issues as they relate to ILL operations are for further study.
The specification technique used in this International Standard is consistent with tech-
niques used in defining other OS1 protocols. Within most of this document, the technique
is self-explanatory. The Abstract Syntax of the ILL Application Protocol Data Units
(APDUs) is defined by means of the ASN.l specification technique specified in IS0 8824.
This International Standard contains six annexes. Annexes A to D are normative. Annex A
specifies the state tables for the ILL protocol. Annex B specifies the encoding rules for
generating a transfer syntax compatible with EDIFACT as defined in IS0 9735. Annex C
specifies the object identifiers assigned in this standard and registration requirements.

Annex D defines the registration procedures for ILL EXTERNAL data type definitions.
Annex E is an example of an ILL EXTERNAL data type definition registry entry and
annex F describes the possible mappings of this protocol onto supporting services.

Interconnection - Interlibrary Loan Application
Protocol Specification - Part II: Protocol specification
1 Scope
This International Standard defines the protocol for an ILL application-service-element
(ASE). It specifies the behaviour which must be exhibited by a system in order to take
part in the provision of the IS0 interlibrary loan service.
It provides a formai statement of the rules of behaviour of each of the two or more entities
b
participating in an ILL transaction. It specifies:
a. the actions to be taken on receiving request service primitives issued by an ILL ser-=
vice-user;
b. the actions to be taken on receiving application-protocol-data-units (APDUs);
c. the actions to be taken as a result of events within the local system.
It provides a specification (in clause 9) of the abstract syntax required to convey ,the ILL
protocol APDUs.
It states the conformance requirements to be met by implementors of this protocol (in
clause 10).
The scope of the ILL protocol is restricted to the interconnection of systems; it does not
specify or restrict the possible implementation of interfaces within a computer system.
Computer systems may range from stand-alone workstations to mainframes.
This International Standard is intended for use by libraries, information utilities such as
union catalogue centres, and any other system which processes bibliographic information.
These systems may participate in an interlibrary loan transaction in the role of requester
(i.e. an initiator of ILL requests), responder (i.e. a provider of bibliographic material or
information) and/or intermediary (i.e. an agent that acts on behalf of a requester to find
suitable responders).
Various intenvorking topologies are supported, ranging from shnple two-party hterac-
tions, to multi-party interactions.

This International Standard is based on the concepts developed in IS0 7498:1984 and
makes use of the following terms found in it. These terms are replicated here as a conve-
nience to the reader.
3.1.1 Application Layer: The seventh and highest layer in the Reference Model
for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI); it serves as the window between
correspondent application-processes which are using the OS1 to exchange
meaningful information.
3.1.2 application-entity: The aspects of an application-process pertinent to OSI.
3.1.3 application-process: An element within a real open system which performs
the infomation processing for a particular application.
3.1.4 application-protocol-data-unit: A unit of data specified in an application-
protocol and consisting of application-protocol-information and possibly
application-user-data.
3.1.5 application-service-element: That part of an application-entity which pro-
vides an OS1 environment capability, using underlying services when appro-
priate.
3.1.6 (N)-service: A capability of the (N)-layer and the layers beneath it, which is
provided to (N+l)-entities at the boundary between the (N)-layer and the
(N+1 )-layer.
\
NOTE - Ànxapplication-service does not provide a capability to higher layer
entities, but rather to application-processes.
3.1.7 presentation-service: A capability of the Presentation Layer and the layers
beneath it, which is provided to application-entities at the boundary between
the Presentation and the Application Layer.

Service.
3.4.2 application-context: A set of rules shared in common by two application-
entity-invocations governing their behavior in order to enable their coopera-
tive operation.
NOTE - an application-context is a shared conceptual schema for the uni-
verse of discourse for communication.
3.4.3 application-context-definition: The description of an application-context.
