General

AODnn International Standard Profiles (ISPs) specify constraints on implementations of the Abstract Interface for the manipulation of ODA (Open Document Architecture) documents, ITU-T Rec. T.413 | ISO/IEC 8613-3, in order to facilitate different implementations of interactive remote document manipulation applications.

ISO/IEC ISP 15121 ISPs specifies such constraints when the Abstract Interface for the manipulation of ODA documents (AI) is used in combination with Document Transfer and Manipulation for Confirmed Document Manipulation (DTAM-DM), ITU-T Rec. T.435 and T.436. In this case, constraints on implementations of ITU-T Rec. T.435 and T.436 are also specified.

This part of ISO/IEC ISP 15121 (Interactive Manipulation of ODA Documents - DTAM/Manipulation) specifies such constraints for the implementation of applications that provide manipulation on remote ODA documents in an Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) environment.

Position within the Taxonomy

This part of ISO/IEC ISP 15121 is defined in the taxonomy for Interactive Manipulation of ODA Documents, described in EWOSiTAi941272 (EWOS/EG/SMMI/94/128). It is the highest profile of those using DTAM (AOD1n).

This part of ISO/IEC ISP 15121 is intended for implementations where ODA documents can be reviewed and modified.

It is a superset of AOD11 and AOD12 profiles.

User Requirements and Scenario

Asymmetric document applications

The first model used in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 15121 is that of asymmetric remote document applications using services provided by the Abstract Interface for the manipulation of ODA documents (AI), in combination with DTAM confirmed document manipulation (DTAM-DM) service and protocol, in order to get access to a remote ODA document.

In this model, the manipulating application will be called ODA document manipulation client, while the system to which ODA clients will remotely access for document interactive manipulation will be called ODA document manipulation servrr. The ODA server application will store the documents and will perform the operations on them.

Figure 1 illustrates the environment within which this first model of this part of ISO/IEC ISP 15121 is applicable.

Symmetric document applications

The second model used in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 15121 is that of symmetric remote document applications using services provided by the Abstract Interface for the manipulation of ODA documents (AI), in combination with DTAM confirmed document manipulation (DTAM-DM) and DTAM-Token Exchange (DTAM-TK) services and protocols, in order to get access to a remote ODA document.

In this model, the manipulating applications will be called ODA document manipulation users, that will remotely access for document interactive manipulation. One (or both) ODA user application(s) will store the documents, and both user applications will be able to perform the operations on them. Additionally, a token will be exchanged between the applications.
