6.2.1 Introduction

An encoded SEDRIS transmittal may be either functionally conforming or fully conforming to this part of ISO/IEC 18023.

6.2.2 Functional conformance

An encoded SEDRIS transmittal functionally conforms to this part of ISO/IEC 18023 if:

  1. All object instances contained therein match the functionality of the corresponding DRM classes of part 1 of ISO/IEC 18023.
  2. The object instances of the encoded SEDRIS transmittal satisfy the conformance requirements stated in 8.2.2 of part 1 of ISO/IEC 18023.
  3. The sequence of elements in the transmittal file set conforms to the relationships specified in this part of ISO/IEC 18023, producing the organization specified in this part of ISO/IEC 18023. For example, the SEDRIS transmittal root file of a SEDRIS transmittal file set begins with BEGIN TRANSMITTAL ROOT FILE and ends with END TRANSMITTAL ROOT FILE, and includes the information required by the productions as specified in this part of ISO/IEC 18023.
  4. No elements appear in the SEDRIS transmittal file set other than those specified in this part of ISO/IEC 18023. All non-standardized elements are encoded as allowed for registered items in part 1 of ISO/IEC 18023 or the EXTERNAL ELEMENT.
  5. No subsidiary files are included in the encoded SEDRIS transmittal that are not referenced by object instances in the encoded SEDRIS transmittal.
  6. Subsidiary files referenced from within the object instances of the SEDRIS transmittal file set shall be only be in formats as specified in part 1 of ISO/IEC 18023 or as allowed by part 1 of ISO/IEC 18023 by registration.

6.2.3 Full conformance

An encoded SEDRIS transmittal fully conforms to this part of ISO/IEC 18023 shall:

  1. be a functionally conforming encoded SEDRIS transmittal, and
  2. conform to an encoding specified in another part of ISO/IEC 18023.

6.3 Conformance of private encodings

A functionally conforming SEDRIS transmittal may be encoded in a private encoding. Such encodings shall satisfy all requirements of 6.2.2 Functional conformance.
