ISO 15889:2011
(Main)Space data and information transfer systems — The data description language EAST specification
Space data and information transfer systems — The data description language EAST specification
ISO 15889:2011 defines the Enhanced Ada SubseT (EAST) language used to create descriptions of data called Data Description Records (DDRs). Such DDRs ensure a complete and exact understanding of the data and allow it to be interpreted in an automated fashion. This means that a software tool is able to analyse a DDR and interpret the format of the associated data. This allows the software to extract values from the data on any host machine (i.e. on a different machine from the one that produced the data).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
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. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 15889:2003), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 15889 was prepared by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) as
CCSDS 644.0-B-3, June 2010 and was adopted without modifications except those stated in Clause 2 of this
International Standard by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee SC 13,
Space data and information transfer systems.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15889:2011(E)
Space data and information transfer systems — The data
description language EAST specification
1 Scope
This International Standard defines the Enhanced Ada SubseT (EAST) language used to create descriptions
of data called Data Description Records (DDRs). Such DDRs ensure a complete and exact understanding of
the data and allow it to be interpreted in an automated fashion. This means that a software tool is able to
analyse a DDR and interpret the format of the associated data. This allows the software to extract values from
the data on any host machine (i.e. on a different machine from the one that produced the data).
The scope and field of application are furthermore detailed in subclauses 1.1 and 1.2 of the enclosed CCSDS
publication.
2 Requirements
Requirements are the technical recommendations made in the following publication (reproduced on the
following pages), which is adopted as an International Standard:
CCSDS 644.0-B-3, June 2010, The data description language EAST specification.
For the purposes of international standardization, the modifications outlined below shall apply to the specific
clauses and paragraphs of publication CCSDS 644.0-B-3.
Pages i to vi
This part is information which is relevant to the CCSDS publication only.

Add the following information to the reference indicated:
[E2] Document CCSDS 620.0-B-2, May 1992, is equivalent to ISO 12175:1994.
3 Revision of publication CCSDS 644.0-B-3
It has been agreed with the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems that Subcommittee
ISO/TC 20/SC 13 will be consulted in the event of any revision or amendment of publication
CCSDS 644.0-B-3. To this end, NASA will act as a liaison body between CCSDS and ISO.
