Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical

Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of

ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees

established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC

technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental

and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described

in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of

document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the

ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any

patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO

list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents) or the IEC list of patent declarations received

(see http://patents.iec.ch).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

0 Introduction
0.1 Purpose and overview

All parts of the multipart ISO/IEC 15944 BOV standards are based on the first and primary characteristic of

Open-edi that states that all actions are based on following clear and predefined rules (ISO/IEC 15944-1:2011,

5.1).

This rule-based approach is central to all existing normative parts of ISO/IEC 15944 and is captured through a

series of rules and (associated) guidelines. The main objective of this part is first to bring all these rules and

guidelines together in a single document in addition to providing an IT-enabled rulebase metamodel to

facilitate business applications.

In keeping also with a central approach and philosophy of ISO/IEC 15944 standards all rules and associated

guidelines will be referenced using a unique ID number.
The purpose therefore of this part 16 is four-fold:
1) to provide a consolidation of all normative rules and associated guidelines;

2) to provide a unique ID number for each rule and associated guideline within the overall ISO/IEC

15944 context;

3) to use a data model approach to capture and describe all rules and associated guidelines; and

4) to provide a systematic approach enhancing the IT-enablement.
0.2 IT systems environment neutrality

This part of ISO/IEC 15944 does not assume or endorse any specific system environment, database

management system, database design paradigm, system development methodology, data definition language,

command language, system interface, user interface, syntax, computing platform, or any technology required

for implementation, i.e. it is information technology neutral. At the same time, this part of ISO/IEC 15944

maximizes an IT-enabled approach to its implementation and maximizes semantic interoperability.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

• ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
3.1
arity
number of roles that participate in the relation (3.49)

[ISO/IEC 11179-3:2003,3.1.3]
3.3

realised through the exchange of recorded information and directed towards some mutually agreed upon goal,

extending over a period of time
[ISO/IEC 14662:2004,3.2]
3.4
Business Operational View
BOV

perspective of business transactions (3.5) limited to those aspects regarding the making of business (3.4)

decisions and commitments among Persons (3.39), which are needed for the description of a business

transactions (3.5)
[ISO/IEC 14662:2010, 3.3]
3.5

accomplish an explicitly shared business (3.4) goal and terminated upon recognition of one of the agreed

conclusions by all the involved Persons (3.39) although some of the recognition may be implicit

3.8
code

data representation in different forms according to a pre-established set of rules

NOTE In this part of ISO/IEC 15944 the "pre-established set of rules" are determined and enacted by a Source

Authority and must be explicitly stated.
[ISO 639-2:1998,3.1]
3.9
coded domain

domain for which (1) the boundaries are defined and explicitly stated as a rulebase (3.55) of a coded domain

Source Authority; and, (2) each entity (3.19) which qualifies as a member of that domain is identified through

the assignment of a unique ID code (3.24) in accordance with the applicable Registration Schema of that

Source Authority (3.60)

NOTE 1 The rules governing the assignment of an ID code to members of a coded domain reside with its Source

Authority and form part of the Coded Domain Registration Schema of the Source Authority.

NOTE 2 Source Authorities which are jurisdictional domains are the primary source of coded domains.

NOTE 3 A coded domain is a data set for which the contents of the data element values are predetermined and defined

according to the rulebase of its Source Authority and as such have predefined semantics.

NOTE 4 Associated with a code in a coded domain can be:
- one and/or more equivalent codes;

- one and/or more equivalent representations especially those in the form of Human Interface Equivalent (HIE)

(linguistic) expressions.

NOTE 5 In a coded domain the rules for assignment and structuring of the ID codes must be specified.

NOTE 6 Where an entity as member of a coded domain is allowed to have, i.e., assigned, more than one ID code, i.e., as

equivalent ID codes (possibly including names), one of these must be specified as the pivot ID code.

NOTE 7 A coded domain in turn can consist of two or more coded domains, i.e., through the application of the

inheritance principle of object classes.

NOTE 8 A coded domain may contain ID code which pertain to predefined conditions other than qualification of

membership of entities in the coded domain. Further, the rules governing a coded domain may or may not provide for user

extensions.

EXAMPLE Common examples include: (1) the use of ID Code "0" (or "00", etc.) for “Others, (2) the use of ID Code "9"

(or "99", etc.) for “Not Applicable”; (3) the use of “8” (or “98”) for “Not Known”; and/or, if required, (4) the pre-reservation of

a series of
