ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 StructureISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 Structure• SC31 (existing)

– Dealing with Automatic Identification and Data Capture – WG1 (data carriers) deals with data carrier specifications

and related documentation for linear and 2-dimensional barcode symbologies.

– WG2 (data structure) deals with data structures for the process of automatic identification and data capture. (ex. ISO/IEC 15459 - Unique identifier for transport units)

– WG3 (conformance) deals with conformance standards.– WG4 deals with RFID issues for item management.

WG 4 StructureWG 4 Structure• WG4 target application models

– Business-purposes application models such as SCM, transportation, inventory management, etc.

• WG4 structure

SG1 data encoding and application interface standards such as ISO/IEC 15961, 15962, 24753 and 24791.

SG2 unique identification standard of RFID tags, ISO/IEC 15963.

SG3 air interface standards such as ISO/IEC 18000-x series.

SG5 RFID implementation guidelines such as ISO/IEC 24729

Mobile RFID Ad-hoc (1/4)Mobile RFID Ad-hoc (1/4)• “Mobile RFID” standardization initiative

– WG4 meeting was held in Washington DC, USA, March 27.– “Mobile RFID” standardization initiative was proposed,

aiming at covering B2C-type RFID application models.– Ad-hoc group was created to prepare for

• ToR• Work items• Gap analysis for new work items, extension issues and re-used

standards• Review of other SDO activities• Cooperation topics

Mobile RFID Ad-hoc (2/4)Mobile RFID Ad-hoc (2/4)• “Mobile RFID” standardization initiative (cont’d)

– Ad-hoc group proposed WG4 SG6 or WG6.

For WG 4/SG 6 in the area of mobile RFID- RF profile for mobile RFID- Mobile RFID service models- Uniform identifier naming- Application data format for mobile RFID services- Conformance test specificationsCooperative development between WG 4/SG 6 and other SDOs:- Common API sets, (with JCP)- DNS & NAPTR Extensions, (with IETF)- X.500, X.520 extensions, (with JTC 1/SC 6 and ITU-T SG17)- Mobile RFID service gateway architecture, (with ITU-T SG16)- Multi-UII resolution architecture, (with ITU-T SG16)- Adult verification, (with OMA)- Tag password acquisition protocol for mobile RFID services, (with ITU-T SG17)For WG 4/SG 6 in the area of sensor networks- Sensor-field to sink communications; Transmission media- Transport protocol; Anti-collision; Fault tolerance Cooperative development between WG 4/SG 6 and other SDOs:- TEDS, (with IEEE)

Mobile RFID Ad-hoc (4/4)Mobile RFID Ad-hoc (4/4)• “Mobile RFID” standardization initiative (cont’d)

– WG4 meeting was held in Pretoria, South Africa, June 7.– Discussion results were:

• ORM (Optical Readable Media) was out of scope of WG4. So, WG 4/SG 6 couldn’t be established.

• WG4 couldn’t determine WG6.• It was recommended SC31 take care for this issue.

MIIM Ad-hoc (1/2)MIIM Ad-hoc (1/2)• SC31 meeting

– Held in Pretoria, South Africa, June 8.– It established MIIM (Mobile item identification and

management in support of consumer applications) ad-hoc group.

– Ad-hoc group ToR• ToR for the new WG• Work items• Gap analysis for new work items, extension issues and re-used

standards• Review of other SDO activities• Cooperation topics

MIIM Ad-hoc (2/2)MIIM Ad-hoc (2/2)• MIIM Ad-hoc meeting

– Was held in Seoul, October 30~31, 2007– Meeting resolutions:

• The ad-hoc group recommended to JTC 1/SC 31 a creation of WG6 – MIIM of which scope was be “Standardization of automatic identification and data collection techniques that are anticipated to be connected to wired or wireless networks. Excluded is the work of JTC 1/SC 31/WG 1, JTC 1/SC 31/WG 4, JTC 1/SC 31/WG 5, and JTC 1/SC 6.”

• Proposed convener was Mr. Craig K. Harmon.
