ISO/IEC 13211-2:2000 PDF

This part of ISO/IEC 13211 is designed to promote the applicability and portability of Prolog modules that contain Prolog text complying with the requirements of the Programming Language Prolog as specified in this part of ISO/IEC 13211.

This part of ISO/IEC 13211 specifies:

• The representation of Prolog text that constitutes a Prolog module,
• The constraints that shall be satisfied to prepare Prolog modules for execution, and
• The requirements, restrictions and limits imposed on a conforming Prolog processor that processes modules.

This part of ISO/IEC 13211 does not specify:

• The size or number of Prolog modules that will exceed the capacity of any specific data processing system or language processor, or the actions to be taken when the limit is exceeded,
• The methods of activating the Prolog processor or the set of commands used to control the environment in which Prolog modules are prepared for execution,
• The mechanisms by which Prolog modules are loaded,
• The relationship between Prolog modules and the processor-specific file system.
