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-govemmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by
the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of
the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO/IEC 10166-1 was prepared by Joint Technical
Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information rechnology.
ISO/IEC 10166 consists of the following Parts, under the general title
Information technology - Text and ofSice Systems - Documenf Filing and
Retrieval (DFR):
- Part I: Abstract Service dejinition and procedures
- Part 2: Protocol specification
Annexes B, C, D and E form an integral part of this part of ISO/lEC 10166.

Introduction
The Document Filing and Retrieval (DFR) application provides the capability for large capacity non-
volatile document storage to multiple users in a distributed Office System. This facility is particularly
useful in an environment where a large population of desktop workstations that have limited storage
capacity require access to large expensive storage devices.
Documents have associated attributes, to facilitate and control retrieval. Use of these attributes
according to given algorithms will enable documents in the document storage to be browsed, retrieved,
managed and deleted in a variety of ways. Access control protects documents from unauthorized
operations. Documents tan be stored in nested groups. References to documents and groups tan be
created and also stored in nested groups. With specific attributes a document tan be designated a
version of another document. Single documents, references or groups tan be moved from one group into
another group. Enumeration of groups, identification by other attributes besides names, identification
by conditions over attributes, search for documents meeting search criteria, concurrent access to the
Same document, reference or group of documents are further functions provided by this Standard for
the user requirements in an Office environment.
The Document Filing and Retrieval application is one of a series of International Standards defining
applications needed in the area of Office automation, as described in the Distributed-Office-application
model [ISO/IEC 10031-11. ISO/IEC 10166 provides the functionality of document filing and retrieval
which directly supports the user in an Office environment. Thus Document Filing and Retrieval is not a
general standardization of all types of filestores as they may exist in computing Systems. Rather it
concentrates on the filing and retrieval of documents, as related to the task of Office work. Document
Filing and Retrieval aims only at standardizing the model of such document stores and the associated
Services and protocols def’ining the principles of how clients tan access such document store servers,
where clients and servers reside on different nodes of a distributed Office System.
The Document Filing and Retrieval application is a distributed application located in the Application
Layer of the Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection (see ISO 7498).
It should be noted that a Document Filing and Retrieval application will provide storage for an open-
ended set of document types. The content of the documents stored is transparent to the Document
Filing and Retrieval server.
NOTES
1 ISO/IEC 10166 deals with individual Document Filing and Retrieval servers, it defines the Document Filing and
Retrieval (DFR-) protocol. This International Standard governs the interactions of a Document Filing and Retrieval client
and a Single Document Filing and Retrieval server. Future standardization will consider the facilities of a Distributed
Filing and Retrieval server System and the need for inter-server protocols and a DFR administration protocol. It is intended
that the results of the initial standardization work be extensible and support this future work.
ISO/IEC 10166 does not presently include administration aspects of the Document Filing and Retrieval abstract-
Service. For the time being these aspects are left to local implementation, although they are candidates for future
standardization.
