This International Standard specifies the characteristics of 356 mm optical disk cartridges of the type providing for information to be written once and read many times. IS0 10885 specifies - definitions of essential concepts@ - the environment in which the characteristics shall be tested@ - the environments in which the cartridge shall be operated and stored@ - the mechanical@ physical and dimensional characteristics of the case and of the optical disk@ - the optical characteristics and the recording characteristics for recording the information once and for reading it many times@ so as to provide physical interchangeability between data processing systems. - the format for the physical disposition of the tracks and sectors@ the error correction codes@ the modulation methods used for recording and the quality of the recorded signals. Together with a standard for volume and file structure@ lSO/lEC 10885 provides for full data interchange between data processing systems.
