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

RFC 2503 ISO ILL Protocol MIME Types February 1999
Required Parameter: transfer-
For BER-encoded PDU's or DDI's, the only current legal value of
parameter is
iso-8825-
The transfer-encoding parameter describes the way the PDU has
encoded before being submitted to the transport service (in this
MIME/RFC822). The two protocols described in this RFC specify
APDU's using ASN.1 (ISO 8824:1990) and the most common way
encoding ASN.1 packets is to use the Basic Encoding Rules (BER
8825)
The parameter is included to allow future use of these MIME
with other encoding schemes. As an example, the ISO 10161
also describes an encoding method using EDIFACT. In the future,
schemes might also be employed. (Since the EDIFACT encoding is
currently in use amongst the ISO 10161 and DDI communities, a
for the transfer-encoding parameter to describe it is not
registered in this RFC.)
Optional parameter: iso-10161-apdu-
Valid values are
ILL-

RFC 2503 ISO ILL Protocol MIME Types February 1999
This parameter is optional and can be provided for informational
diagnostic purposes. The value of the PDU or DDI type can
determined from the actual data sent. The use and format of the PDU'
and DDI's is defined in the relevant protocol documents
describe them
Content-Type: application/iso-10161-ill-1; transfer-encoding=iso
8825-ber; iso-10161-apdu-type=Recall
Content-Type: application/ill-ddi; transfer-encoding=iso-8825-ber
Since BER encoded material is binary in nature, some form of
is needed when 7bit or 8bit transport mechanisms are employed
The recommended encoding for BER encoded PDU's is Base64
PDU's per
When used to send BER encoded PDU's or DDI's. Each MIME body
will carry at most one BER encoded PDU or DDI. However, a single
message containing multiple body parts can be used to transport
than one BER PDU and or DDI
Security
There are no known security risks associated with transmitting
encoded PDU's in general. However, a particular BER encoded PDU
DDI may have security considerations that make it inappropriate
transmittal through public data networks unless
protection mechanisms, like encryption, are used. Such a
might occur, for example, when organizations are exchanging
that contain secure or classified information and it is necessary
keep information about both the material being exchanged and
exchanging partners confidential
Interoperability
BER is an international standard for encoding data meant to
transferred between two systems that may store data in
local formats internally [BER].

if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
this is version 0.1 of the Relevance System and you gotta expect some crappy subroutines sometimes,
just be content we did not write this in Java, which would have made this "bigger and better" HAHAHHA.
