DDIS(5)								       DDIS(5)

Name
       DDIS - Digital Data Interchange Syntax / ISO ASN.1 (DDIS/ASN.1) files

Description
       DDIS is an ASN.1 syntax that conforms to the specifications of Interna‐
       tional Standards Organization Abstract Syntax Notation One (ISO ASN.1).

       Digital's CDA architecture defines two document formats and a mail syn‐
       tax  for	 the sharing and transport of revisable compound documents and
       tabular files based on the DDIS syntax that is a subset of ASN.1:

       ·    DDIF (Digital Document Interchange Format) is the interchange  and
	    application	 file  format  for compound documents containing text,
	    graphics, images, and audio.

       ·    DTIF (Digital Table Interchange Format)  is	 the  interchange  and
	    application file format for tabular data, such as spreadsheets and
	    multi-dimensional tables.

       ·    DOTS (Data Object Transport Syntax) is a transparent interface for
	    the transfer of compound documents with external links to multiple
	    subfiles via mail systems.

       CDA-supported files that conform to one of  the	DDIS/ASN.1  family  of
       syntaxes	 are  typed  according	to a particular DDIS/ASN.1 syntax. For
       example, a DDIF file is identified by the file command as  a  ddis/ddif
       file.

       For  more information on CDA enabling technologies and the DEC CDA Run-
       Time Services, refer to the CDA manpage.
