CSA Preface
Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the SCC Mirror Committee (SMC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC.
For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as CSA ISO/IEC 15962 throughout.
This Standard supersedes CSA ISO/IEC 15962:21 (adopted ISO/IEC 15962:2013).
The International Standard was reviewed by the CSA TCIT under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Information and Communications Technology and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.
Scope
This document focuses on encoding the transfer syntax of the application commands defined in ISO/IEC 15961-1. The encodation is in a Logical Memory as a software analogue of the physical memory of the RFID tag being addressed by the interrogator.
This document
— defines the encoded structure of object identifiers;
— specifies the data compaction rules that apply to the encoded data;
— specifies a Precursor for encoding syntax features efficiently;
— specifies formatting rules for the data, e.g. depending on whether a directory is used or not;
— defines how application commands, e.g. to lock data, are transferred to the Tag Driver;
— specifies processes associated with sensory information and the transfers to the Tag Driver;
— defines other communication to the application.
