scope:

CWA 13987 is likely to be of interest to any organisation or individual involved in smart card deployment. This part of CWA 13987 is the normative part. It provides the definition of the data set known as User Related Information (URI) and explains the basic principles that govern and support its implementation. Together with the description and formatting rules of URI data elements, the document explains how the URI on a smart card can be accessed by a card accepting device and describes the API functions necessary to ensure that the URI data is retrieved and properly used. This normative part of CWA 13987 therefore provides the primary requirements for setting up an interoperable network for smart cards. Consultation of the informative Parts 2 and 3 is recommended in order to gain a fuller understanding of what this may entail.
