Scope:

1.1 General ISO/IEC ISP 10616 profiles information to be stored within the Directory which is common to a variety of applications. This International Standardized Profile augments this information with VT application specific information.

Statements and conformance requirements stated in ISO/IEC ISP 10616 for the information profiled by ISO/IEC ISP 10616 are also valid for the VT application specific information profiled by this International Standardized Profile.

This International Standardized Profile therefore profiles Directory information for use by VT applications and users of VT applications, using existing object class and attribute type definitions from the Directory specifications themselves, and additional definitions.

This International Standardized Profile does not define any procedures covering how this Directory information shall be used either by VT applications or by users of VT applications.

1.2 Position within the taxonomy This International Standardized Profile is identified in ISO/IEC TR 10000-2 as 'Information technology - International Standardized Pro file FDI5 - Directory data definitions - VT Use of the Directory'.

1.3 Scenario A VT application, by means of an associated Directory User Agent (DUA), obtains Directory information by accessing directly or indirectly one or more Directory System Agents (DSAs) of the Directory (see figure 1).

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
