ISO/TS 26683-1:20 12为使用物品识别、包裹识别、集装箱识别的当前技术和现有标准以及关于货物及其移动的国际标准和惯例交换陆路运输数据提供了应用程序接口配置文件的上下文。ISO/TS 26683-1:20 12提供了以下内容: ISO 26683与其他货运和车队标准之间关系的背景，并定义ISO 26683系列的目标。解释了如何通过使用标准化的应用接口简档来利用现有的国际标准和技术规范来聚集/聚合数据概念，并在ISO 26683的背景下利用它们，以及如何使用ISO 26683向货物管理系统提供信息/数据；描述在国际多式联运/多式联运货物运输背景下，通过利用标识符、数据载体、EDI消息和关于各种类型货物和运输工具的数据元素，为端到端运输中的货物跟踪和追踪提供信息的用例； 一种用于将从运输负载中包含的信息聚集/聚合的数据整理和传输到运输操作系统的架构，其目标是能够有效地处理卡车/拖车识别和车载货物信息，用于在陆地货物运输情况下的跟踪、追踪和货物监控目的。

ISO/TS 26683-1:2012 provides the context for application interface profiles for the exchange of land transport data using current technologies and existing standards for item identification, package identification, container identification, and international standards and practices regarding freight and its movement. ISO/TS 26683-1:2012 provides the following:

• a context of the relationship between ISO 26683 and other freight and fleet standards and defines the objectives for the ISO 26683 series. The explanation is provided as to how existing International Standards and Technical Specifications can be utilized to agglomerate/aggregate data concepts by using standardized application interface profiles and utilize them within the context of ISO 26683 and how ISO 26683 can be used to provide information/data to cargo management systems;
• descriptions of use cases of providing information to cargo tracking and tracing in end-to-end transport by exploiting identifiers, data carriers, EDI messages and data elements with respect to various types of cargo and transport means within an international intermodal/multimodal cargo movement context;
• an architecture for the collation and transfer of data agglomerated/aggregated from information contained in the transport load to transport operating systems, the objective being to enable efficient handling of truck/trailer identification and on-board cargo information for tracking, tracing and cargo monitoring purposes in a land cargo transport situation.
