This Standard specifies the volume and file structure of compact read only optical disks (CD-ROM) for the interchange of information between users of information processing systems.

This Standard specifies

• the attributes of the volume and the descriptors recorded on it;

• the relationship among volumes of a volume set;

• the placement of files;

• the attributes of the files;

• record structures intended for use in the input or output data streams of an application program when such data streams are required to be organized as sets of records;

• three nested levels of medium interchange;

• two nested levels of implementation;

• requirements for the processes which are provided within information processing systems, to enable information to be interchanged between different systems, utilizing recorded CD-ROM as the medium of interchange; for this purpose it specifies the functions to be provided within systems which are intended to originate or receive CD-ROM which conform to this Standard.
