Rec. No. : T.502

Title :	Document application profile PM-11 for the interchange of 
	character content documents in processable and formatted forms

Study Group : VIII - Terminals for Telematics Services

Version : Revised

Date of adoption : 1991

Notes :	


This is the definition of an ODA document application profile (DAP) 
named PM-11. This profile is suitable for interchanging documents in 
formatted form, processable form or formatted processable form and has 
been defined in accordance with CCITT T.411/ISO 8613-1. The format of 
this profile is in accordance with the standardized proforma and 
notation defined in CCITT T.411/ISO 8613-1, Annex F.

This profile specifies interchange formats for the transfer of 
structured documents between equipment designed for word or document 
processing. Such documents may contain character content.

Recommendation T.502 PM-11 is the replacement of Recommendation T.502 
(1988). The documents that can be interchanged using this profile 
range from memos and letters to simple structured documents. This 
profile provides a comprehensive level of features for the transfer of 
documents between these systems.

This profile allows documents to be interchanged in the following 
forms:

	-   formatted form;

	-   processable form;

	-   formatted processable form.

The architecture levels defined for these three forms have matching 
functionalities so that the interchange formats of a document are 
convertible from a processable form to any other form.

This profile is independent of the processes carried out in an end 
system to create, edit or reproduce documents. It is also independent 
of the means to transfer documents which for example, may be by means 
of communication links or storage media.
