ISO/IEC 8825-2-ed.6.0

Annotation of standard text ISO/IEC 8825-2-ed.6.0 :

This document specifies a set of Packed Encoding Rules that may be used to derive a transfer syntax for values of types defined in Rec. ITU-T X.680 | ISO/IEC 8824-1. These Packed Encoding Rules are also to be applied for decoding such a transfer syntax in order to identify the data values being transferred. The encoding rules specified in this document : – are used at the time of communication; – are intended for use in circumstances where minimizing the size of the representation of values is the major concern in the choice of encoding rules; – allow the extension of an abstract syntax by addition of extra values, preserving the encodings of the existing values, for all forms of extension described in Rec. ITU-T X.680 | ISO/IEC 8824-1; – can be modified in accordance with the provisions of Rec. ITU-T X.695 | ISO/IEC 8825-6.
