After ISO 28560 is publised, software
developers will be taking action to develop solutions that will help libraries
implement the standards. During the
course of this development, questions have been raised to clarify points
associated with the three standards. As
these clarifications need to be imparted fairly quickly to ensure
interoperability between systems, these clarification documents have been
prepared and approved by ISO TC46 SC4 WG11.
This page clarifies clarifications that apply to all three
standards. The links below point to
clarifications for the specific parts of ISO 28560.

Encodable Characters
Although not explicitly stated in the standards, the intention of WG11
has always been that encodable characters shall be
restricted to graphical characters, and not control characters. This is because most of the data needs to be
as displayed in the same way as on the Library Management System (also known as
the Library Information System).
Some data elements have constraints imposed upon them in one or more
Parts of ISO 28560 as to the subset of graphical characters that may be encoded. Reference is necessary to the standards
themselves, or to the associated clarification documents.
In addition, some of the data elements are expressed in a way that they
are encoded on the RFID tag as bit values or byte values. Care needs to be taken that the source of the
data and the requirements for ISO 28560-2 or ISO 28560-3 are aligned.
