CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC-8825-95 (R1999)

The international community has decided to make this standard available only in the English language version. It has been adopted as a National Standard of Canada on this basis. This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 8825:1990. 1 Scope This International StandarD specifies a set of basic encoding rules that may be used to derive the specification of a transfer syntax for values of types defined using the notation specified in ISO/IEC 8824. These basic encoding rules are also to be applied for decoding such a transfer syntax in order to identify the data values being transferred. These basic encoding rules are used at the time of communication (by the presentation service provider when required by a presentation context).
