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. In the field of ination technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. 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. 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. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition of ISO/IEC 8824-42008 which has been technically revised. It also incorporates ISO/IEC 8824-42008/Cor.12014. ISO/IEC 8824-4 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Ination technology, Subcommittee SC 6, Telecommunications and ination exchange between systems, in collaboration with ITU-T.

ITU-T X.683 08/2015 FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union ITU is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, ination and communication technologies ICTs. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector ITU-T is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly WTSA, which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of ination technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest ination and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http//www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.  ITU 2015 All rights reserved.

ITU-T X.683 08/2015 Introduction Application designers need to write specifications in which certain aspects are left undefined. Those aspects will later be defined by one or more other groups each in its own way, to produce a fully defined specification for use in the definition of an abstract syntax one for each group. In some cases, aspects of the specification for example, bounds may be left undefined even at the time of abstract syntax definition, being completed by the specification of International Standardized Profiles or functional profiles from some other body. NOTE 1 – It is a requirement imposed by this Recommendation | International Standard that any aspect that is not solely concerned with the application of constraints has to be completed prior to the definition of an abstract syntax. In the extreme case, some aspects of the specification may be left for the implementer to complete, and would then be specified as part of the Protocol Implementation Conance Statement. While the provisions of Rec. ITU-T X.681 | ISO/IEC 8824-2 and Rec. ITU-T X.682 | ISO/IEC 8824-3 provide a framework for the later completion of parts of a specification, they do not of themselves solve the above requirements. Additionally, a single designer sometimes requires to define many types, or many ination object classes, or many inf
