- Hi all,
- here is an interesting message I received from a local distribution list.
-
- Bye. Claudio

-
-
- ITU PRESS RELEASE/92-23
- 6 November 1992
-
-
- WIDE RANGE OF ITU* DOCUMENTS NOW AVAILABLE ON-LINE:
- ITU STANDARDS TO BECOME ELECTRONICALLY ACCESSIBLE IN
- EARLY 93
-
-
- An electronic document distribution service providing
- remote access to ITU documents - TELEDOC - became
- operational last week.
-
- Aimed at providing fast and timely access to ITU
- information to the world telecommunication and networking
- community, TELEDOC is a database containing at present:
-
- * CCITT and CCIR administrative documents
- * lists of contributions (substantive input/proposals)
- to CCITT and CCIR study groups
- * lists of CCITT reports and Recommendations
- (i.e. standards)
- * summaries of CCITT new or revised Recommendations
- * CCITT and CCIR meeting schedules and other
- information concerning Study Groups structures
- and activities.
-
- As from early next year, the full texts of all new and
- revised CCITT Recommendations (i.e. all standards
- approved after the publication of the Blue Book in 1988)
- will also be available from TELEDOC. In line with ITU
- publications policies, it is envisaged to expand TELEDOC
- information base according to identified needs and
- available resources.
-
- On TELEDOC's first day of operation, ITU Secretary-
- General Pekka Tarjanne stated: "The impact of the
- changing telecommunications environment makes it
- imperative that the ITU develop new approaches to the
- standardization process and find new ways to improve the
- efficiency of our work, new ways to disseminate the
- output of our work throughout the world. The
- implementation of TELEDOC", he said, "is undoubtedly a
- right step in this direction. Our ultimate goal is to
- make available on-line an entire library of ITU documents
- for a broad and transparent information exchange with all
- categories of interested users".
-
- TELEDOC is based on a X.400 document server which
- processes requests sent in by electronic mail. The
- TELEDOC Auto-Answering Mailbox accepts messages from the
- two most widely used E-mail systems: X.400 and Internet.
- Users without direct access to X.400 or Internet mail can
- use gateway services provided by major service providers
- (e.g. MCI or Compuserve). The electronic mail address of
- TELEDOC Auto-Answering Mailbox (TAM) is:
-
- X. 400 S=teledoc
- P=itu
- A=arcom
- C=ch
-
- Internet teledoc@itu.arcom.ch
-
- Document formats which are planned to be made available
- include ASCII, Microsoft RTF, Word for Windows, Postcript
- and CCITT ODA/ODIF.
-
- TELEDOC will be available on request, on a trial period
- of one year, at no access cost.
