BS ISO 10160:2015 is an Application Layer standard within the Open Systems Interconnection
framework defined by ISO 7498.This International Standard defines the services for Interlibrary Loan. These services are provided by
the use of the ILL protocol in conjunction with the supporting telecommunications service which might
be a store-and-forward messaging service, such as that provided by the MOTIS Standard, ISO/IEC 10021-
4; or a direct connection-mode service using ISO 8822 and ISO 8649.This International Standard does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it
constrain the implementation of entities and interfaces within a computer system. Computer systems
might range from stand-alone workstations to mainframes.This International Standard is intended for use by libraries, information utilities such as union catalogue
centres, and any other system which processes bibliographic information. These systems might
participate in an interlibrary loan transaction in the role of requester (i.e. an initiator of ILL requests),
responder (i.e. a provider of bibliographic material or information) and/or intermediary (i.e. an agent
that acts on behalf of a requester to find suitable responders).Various interworking topologies are supported, ranging from simple two-party interactions to multiparty
interactions.There is no requirement for conformance to this International Standard. Conformance is required only
for the ILL protocol specification.Cross References:ISO/IEC 10026-1ISO 7498-2ISO 7498-3ISO 8459-1ISO 8613-1ISO/IEC 8649ISO 8822ISO 8879ISO 10161-1ISO 12083ISO/IEC 646ISO/IEC 7498-1ISO/IEC 7498-4ISO/IEC 9545ISO/IEC 10021-4ISO/IEC 10026-2ISO/IEC 10026-3ISO/IEC 10731All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
