1 Scope

1.1 General

This part of ISO/IEC ISP 10611 covers access to a message store (MS) using the P7 MS Access Protocol as defined in ISO/IEC 10021-5:1994 and ISO/IEC 10021-6:1996 (see also figure 1). These specifications form part of the Common Messaging application functions, as defined in the parts of ISO/IEC ISP 10611, which form a common basis for content type-dependent International Standardized Profiles for MHS that will be developed.

1.2 Position within the taxonomy

This part of ISO/IEC ISP 10611 is the sixth part of a multipart ISP identified in ISO/IEC TR 10000-2 as .AMH1, Message Handling Systems - Common Messaging. (see also ISO/IEC TR 10000-1, 8.2 for the definition of multipart ISPs). This part of ISO/IEC ISP 10611 specifies the following profile: AMH15 - MS 94 Access (P7) The AMH15 profile may be combined with any T-Profiles (see ISO/IEC TR 10000) specifying the OSI connection-mode Transport service.

1.3 Scenario

The model used is one of access to a message store (MS) by an MS-user - specifically, the intercommunication between an MS and an MS-user (i.e. a user agent) using the P7 protocol, as shown in figure 1.

The AMH15 profile covers all aspects of the MS Abstract Service, as defined in ISO/IEC 10021-5:1994, when realized using the P7 protocol. The OSI upper layer services and protocols to support the Message Handling Systems functions covered by the AMH15 profile are specified in the set of standards identified in table 1.
