RFID Data model for libraries Doc 067
addition be to an organization that might set rules that should be followed for the specific
application area. However, as stated, what will emerge is up to the committee.
NEN adds: The details of the agreement between SC17 and SC31 are not clear. In particular it
is uncertain which applications should obtain AFI’s from the SC17 range and which
applications should obtain values from the SC31 range. You might also explore the SC17
route.
Other activities
At the same time the working group is aware that there is a parallel activity going on for the
AFI registration at ISO. A group of big libraries did apply for AFI at ISO and seems to be
one step ahead. It might be good, to merge these activities. The responsible working group
will have a meeting on July 15th in London. I do not know, how long it might take, to get a
definitive value for use. There is a need to define a transition solution which makes it
possible, to start using the Danish Data Model immediately.
In the ISO/IEC 15693-3:2002(E) There is a clause 4.2 Application Family Identifier (AFI)
coding. All groups defined in there are: Transport, Financial, Identification,
Telecommunication, Medical, Multimedia, Gaming, Data storage, Item management, Express
parcels, Postal services, Airline bags. Whereas only Item management can be used for the
Item handling in libraries (AFI 0x90 - 0x9F). Now the ISO/IEC groups redefine the AFI
usage and do not foresee a group for Item management anymore but do have areas which can
be managed by the subgroups ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17. AFI 0x90 -
0x9F is also in this range.
