Full title and description
Information technology — Open Systems Interconnection — Procedures for the operation of OSI registration authorities — Part 2: Registration procedures for OSI document types. Specifies the contents of register entries recording information about OSI document types and assigns an unambiguous name to the type definitions. This Australian/New Zealand joint publication is an identical adoption of ISO/IEC 9834‑2:1993.
Abstract
Defines the registration procedures and required contents for register entries that describe OSI document types. Includes rules for assigning an ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER to each document type, requirements to avoid identifier reuse, and procedures for operation of an International Registration Authority for OSI document types. The text is identical to ISO/IEC 9834‑2:1993 and is concise (short form standard).
General information
- Status: Withdrawn (withdrawn from sale and use as a joint AS/NZS standard; retained in historical records).
- Publication date: 17 October 1994.
- Publisher: Standards Australia / Standards New Zealand (joint adoption of the ISO/IEC document).
- ICS / categories: Information technology — Open systems interconnection (ICS 35.100; related IT categories 35.xx).
- Edition / version: 1st edition (AS/NZS 4153.2:1994), identical to ISO/IEC 9834‑2:1993.
- Number of pages: 8 pages (short technical part).
Scope
This part specifies the contents of register entries for OSI document types and the procedures to assign an unambiguous ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER name to each document type definition. It covers the operation of an International Registration Authority for OSI document types and the rules to ensure each object identifier is allocated to at most one document type and is not reused. The standard is intended for use where protocol or document-type identification is required in OSI-based communication profiles and related registers.
Key topics and requirements
- Contents required in a register entry describing an OSI document type (semantics, syntax, parameters where applicable).
- Assignment of an unambiguous name using ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIERs for document-type definitions.
- Procedures and responsibilities for operation of an International Registration Authority for OSI document types.
- Rules to prevent allocation of an object identifier to more than one information object and to prohibit reuse.
- Relation and alignment with ISO/IEC 9834‑2:1993 (text reproduced identically).
Typical use and users
Used historically by standards bodies, registration authorities, implementers of OSI protocols, system integrators and organisations that registered or referenced formal document-type identifiers (for example those using ASN.1/object identifier mechanisms in protocol specifications). Today it is primarily of archival and reference interest for implementers maintaining legacy OSI-based systems or reviewing historical registration procedures.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: A joint Australian/New Zealand adoption (AS/NZS 4153.2:1994) of ISO/IEC 9834‑2:1993 that specifies registration procedures and the required contents of register entries for OSI document types.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers how to record and name OSI document types in a register, the use of ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIERs for unambiguous naming, and the procedures for an International Registration Authority to allocate and manage those identifiers.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Historically, standards bodies, registration authorities, and implementers of OSI protocols or systems that needed authoritative document-type identifiers. Today it is mainly used for archival reference or by maintainers of legacy OSI-based implementations.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The document was published in 1994 and the AS/NZS adoption has been withdrawn from sale (status recorded as withdrawn by standards distributors; the original ISO/IEC text remains the primary international reference). Users should consult current ISO/IEC and national registration authorities for up-to-date procedures or successor documents.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is Part 2 of the AS/NZS 4153 series (procedures for the operation of OSI registration authorities). Other parts in the series address general procedures and registration of other OSI naming elements.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: OSI, registration authority, document type, object identifier, ASN.1, ISO/IEC 9834‑2, registration procedures.
