ISO/IEC 13642:1996 is a standard related to information technology, specifically focusing on elements of management information related to the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Physical Layer. The full title of the standard is "Information technology - Open Systems Interconnection - Management Information Services - Structure of Management Information: Elements of Management Information related to the OSI Physical Layer."
In the context of OSI, which is a conceptual framework that standardizes the functions of a telecommunication or computing system into seven abstraction layers, the Physical Layer is the lowest layer. It deals with the transmission and reception of raw data bits over a physical medium, such as cables or wireless transmission.
The standard ISO/IEC 13642:1996 defines the structure of management information related to the Physical Layer of OSI. Management Information Services (MIS) in this context refer to the tools and structures used to manage and monitor the elements of a network or information system.
This standard likely provides guidelines for how information related to the Physical Layer should be structured for management purposes. It may include definitions of managed objects, attributes, and relationships that are relevant to the management of the Physical Layer within an OSI-based system.
