General

The concept of Profiles for OSI, and the structure of the Intemational Standardized Profiles that document them, are defined in ISO/IEC TR 10000-1, Such Profiles are divided into a number of different classes and sub-classes. Two of these classes contain sub-classes comprising functions of the Virtual Terminal Basic Class Service and Protocol specified in the base standards IS0 9040 and IS0 9041-1. These are the Application Profiles (A-Profiles) and the Interchange Format and Representation Profiles (F-Profiles).

It is a requirement of ISOB[EC 9646-7 that the specification of a Profile shall provide a Profile Requirements List (Profile RL) which modifies the ICs proformas of the referenced base standards. A Profile specification may in addition provide a Profile Specific ICs proforma.

This part of ISO/IEC ISP 11 187 specifies a Common RL for the supporting layer protocols that shall be incorporated by reference into each VT Application Profile specified in other parts of ISO/IEC ISP 11 187.
