Abstract
This memorandum describes a set of MIME types for use with the ISO
Interlibrary Loan Protocol (ISO 10160/10161). Two MIME types are
specified below.
The first is a media type to carry objects which are BER [BER]
encoded ISO ILL Protocol Data Units (PDU's). BER are the basic
Encoding Rules used to encode PDU's which have been described using
ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation 1) [ASN.1] .
The second is for use with the associated document delivery
instructions. Document Delivery Instructions (DDI) is an emerging
protocol which enables automatic electronic delivery of items. It
allows a request management system (which might have received a
request for an item via the ISO Interlibrary Loan Protocol (ISO
10160/10161)) to pass details of the request, item, and delivery, to
a delivery module, and to receive back reports on the delivery
process or arrival of an item. It is currently being submitted to the
ISO TC46/SC4/WG4 committee for approval as an ISO standard.
