BS ISO/IEC 9579-3:1996 is a standard within the field of Information Technology, specifically concerning Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) and remote database access. The full title of the standard is "Information technology - Open Systems Interconnection - Remote database access - SQL specialization - Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma."
Here are some key points related to this standard:
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI): The OSI model is a conceptual framework that standardizes the functions of a telecommunication or computing system into seven abstraction layers. These layers facilitate interoperability between different systems and devices.
Remote Database Access: The standard focuses on remote access to databases, allowing users or applications to interact with databases located on remote systems. This is crucial for distributed computing environments where data may be stored on different machines.
SQL Specialization: The standard addresses a specialization of remote database access that involves the use of SQL (Structured Query Language). SQL is a standardized language for managing and querying relational databases.
Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) Proforma: The Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma is a document used to declare the conformance of a particular implementation to a specific protocol standard. It provides a structured way to document which features and options of the standard have been implemented by a particular system.
Interoperability: The PICS proforma is crucial for ensuring interoperability between different systems that implement the remote database access protocol with SQL specialization. It helps in identifying the level of conformance of a particular implementation, allowing users and developers to assess compatibility.
