This standard registers the attribute sets listed below, and assigns the following object identifiers:
Bib-1 {Z39-50-attributeSet 1} (See ATR.1)
Exp-1 {Z39-50-attributeSet 2} (See ATR.2)
Ext-1 {Z39-50-attributeSet 3} (See ATR.3)
CCL-1 {Z39-50-attributeSet 4}
GILS {Z39-50-attributeSet 5}
STAS {Z39-50-attributeSet 6}[Note: this appendix lists only those attribute sets registered as part of the publication of Z39.50-1995. For a complete list registered attribute sets see http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/oids.html#3]
Each attribute set defines a set of types and for each type a set of values. An attribute list (see AttributeList in the ASN.1 for APDUs, 4.1), constructed from an attribute set definition, is a list of attribute pairs. An attribute pair (AttributeElement in the ASN.1 for APDUs) consists of an attribute type and a value list (attributeValue within AttributeElement), where each value in the list is defined for that type.
When version 2 is in force, each value list is a single value and is an integer. When version 3 is in force, attributeValue (within AttributeElement) may select 'complex', allowing the value list to include Multiple values (each may be integer or string) and also to specify a 'semanticAction', indicating how the target is to treat the multiple attributes.
When an attribute list contains any attribute pair where attributeValue selects 'complex', there must not be any attribute type within the attribute list for which there is more than a single attribute pair.
ATR.1 Attribute Set bib-1
This section
defines the attribute set bib-1.
ATR.1.1 Bib-1 Types and Values [Link to ATR.1.
Bib-1 Types and Values]
This section lists the attribute types and values for attribute-set bib-1
Attribute Type | Value: |
Use | 1 |
Relation | 2 |
Position | 3 |
Structure | 4 |
Truncation | 5 |
Completeness | 6 |
ATR.1.2 Bib-1 Attribute Combinations
If a target does not support a given attribute list, it should fail the search
and supply an appropriate diagnostic.
A given attribute type may appear zero times, one time, or more than one time, in an attribute list.
When attributeValue selects 'complex', 'semanticAction' may be included. SemanticAction is a sequence of integers; for bib-1, it is either a single integer or a sequence of two integers.
For the first integer in the sequence, values are:
The second integer in the sequence is to be supplied if and only if there are multiple attributes in the list. Values are:
ATR.2 Attribute Set exp-1
This section defines the attribute-set exp-1, for use with an Explain database.
The attribute set exp-1 defines a single attribute type, 'Use'. In addition,
this attribute set definition imports non-Use bib-1 attributes, i.e.
those of type Relation, Position, Structure, Truncation, and Completeness. The
types and values defined within the bib-1 attribute set for these attributes
may be used within the exp-1 attribute set, using the object identifier for
this attribute set. It is recommended that
a target supporting the Explain facility support the Relation attribute 'equal', Position attribute 'any' position in field', and Structure attribute 'key'.
Note: If the target supports searching based on date ranges (e.g. to limit a search to records created before or after a particular date or between two dates), the target should also support one or more of the following relation attributes: 'less than', 'less than or equal', 'greater than', and 'greater or equal'.

ATR.3 Attribute Set ext-1
This section defines the attribute-set ext-1, for use with an Extended Services
database (see Tables A-3-10 and A-3-11). Two types are defined:
Attribute Type | Value |
Use | 1 |
Permissions | 2 |
Additional attributes (types and/or values) may be defined within a specific Extended Service definition. The attribute set id to be used to identify those attributes is the ObjectIdentifier that identifies the specific Extended Service.
Use | Value |
UserId | 1 |
PackageName | 2 |
CreationDatetime | 3 |
TaskStatus | 4 |
PackgeType | 5 |
RetentionTime | 6 |
TargetReference | 7 |
Permission | Value |
Delete | 1 |
Modify | 2 |
ModifyPermissions | 3 |
Present | 4 |
Invoke | 5 |
Any | 6 |
Note: The permission attribute is for use only when the value of the Use attribute is UserId, in which case the purpose is to search for task packages for which the specified user has the specified permission. |
