Overview
ISO/IEC 10164-13:1995/Cor 1:1999 is the Technical Corrigendum (Corr. 1) to the ISO/IEC 10164-13:1995 standard, which sits in the ISO/IEC 10164 series on Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Systems Management - Summarization Function. Prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, this corrigendum provides official corrections and clarifications to the original 1995 publication. It ensures consistent interpretation and implementation of the Summarization Function within OSI systems management frameworks.
Key Topics
The corrigendum focuses on clarifying and correcting elements of the Summarization Function specification. Key technical topics addressed typically include:
- Clarifications to definitions and terminology used in the Summarization Function to remove ambiguity.
- Corrections to behavioral descriptions, ensuring how summarization operations (aggregation, roll‑up, and reporting) are defined and interpreted.
- Adjustments to examples or usage notes that support implementers and integrators.
- Editorial fixes that improve protocol descriptions and mapping guidance prepared in the original standard.
Note: Corrigenda generally do not introduce new functionality; they amend or clarify existing content to align implementations with the standard intent.
Applications
The Summarization Function defined in ISO/IEC 10164-13 (and refined by this corrigendum) has practical application in:
- Network and systems management - aggregating performance counters, event summaries, and statistical data for monitoring and reporting.
- Performance monitoring and capacity planning - producing summarized views from detailed metrics to support trend analysis.
- Management information systems and consoles used by system administrators and Network Operations Centers (NOC).
- Vendor implementations of OSI management tools and middleware that require consistent summarization semantics across interoperable products.
Who Uses This Standard
- Standards developers and technical committees maintaining interoperable OSI management specifications.
- Systems and network administrators who rely on standardized summarization semantics in management tools.
- Software and hardware vendors implementing OSI-based management functions or mapping OSI concepts to proprietary management interfaces.
- Consultants and integrators responsible for aligning monitoring and management solutions with international standards.
Related Standards
- ISO/IEC 10164 series (other parts addressing systems management functions)
- OSI systems management and information model standards maintained by ISO/IEC JTC 1
By referencing ISO/IEC 10164-13:1995/Cor 1:1999, implementers ensure clearer, corrected guidance for the Summarization Function-improving interoperability and reliable systems management data aggregation.
