Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the Inter-
national Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide
standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 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.
IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with
IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 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.
Amendment 3 to International Standard ISO/IEC 10728:1993 was prepared by
Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 21, Open systems interconnection, data management and open
distributed processing.

CORBA IDL Binding
The IRDS Services Interface language bindings for the CORBA Interface Definition Language are
presented in the form of a .idl file as set out in clause E.4 below.
E. 1 Strategy for the Language Binding
In this binding the data names and data structures defined in clause 8 have been adhered to except where
the CORBA IDL does not provide an appropriate construct.
In this binding the proccdurc names and their parameters defined in clause 8 have been adhered to except
where the CORBA IDL does not provide an appropriate construct.
‘or various limits instead because CORBA IDL compilers will not
#define statements have been used 1 of
accept a as an array leng th specifier.
Use of this language bindin, ~7 requires the USC of a CORBA IDL compiler that conforms to ISO/IEC
{Editor to insert reference] level (Editor to insert level identification).
E. 2 Class Architecture
The following class architecture is proposed. Note that these are only the classes that wed to be
visible across the CORBA intcrfacc. A finci grained class structure may be appropriate in future, but
that this probably ought to be a starting point. Moving to further classes such as IRDDefinition, IRD,
WorkingSet and IRDObjcct would be a natural next step and not inconsistent with the objects defined
.
