Standardization of Optical Disk Cartridges since 1984

1 First Programme of Work of TC31, 1987-1991

TC31 was set up by Ecma International with a view to producing Ecma Standards for ODCs, to respond to the market need for standards in this field. However, ODCs being a new medium - at least from a standardization point of view - it was first necessary to identify all important parameters of the unrecorded disk and to agree on those deemed to be relevant for interchange. The next problem was to agree on the format to be used for the recorded disk. Before these essential matters could be considered it was first necessary to agree on the physical dimensions of the case itself. The problem there was that these dimensions, in particular the thickness of the case, should be convenient for the different disk designs under consideration and, at the same time, allow for the design of drives the dimensions of which should be compatible with those of drives for magnetic flexible disk cartridges. The same discussions took place in ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 23.

Once the problem with the case was practically solved, TC31 decided to undertake the following programme of work:

  • To participate actively in the development in SC 23 of International Standard 9171, an ODC with a disk of 130 mm intended for write once read multiple (WORM) applications,
  • To participate actively in the development in SC 23 of International Standard 10089, an ODC with a disk of 130 mm intended for rewritable (R/W) applications,
  • To develop an Ecma Standard for an ODC with a 90 mm disk intended for R/W applications,
  • In parallel with these activities to produce an Ecma Standard for CD-ROM.

1.2 ISO/IEC 9171

The first Draft International Standard (DIS) produced by SC 23 proved to be quite unacceptable. Indeed, it was covering several different, incompatible designs and could, thus, not be considered as an interchange standard but rather as a more or less accurate description of the state of the art. As a consequence, this first DIS was rejected by a large majority. An 8-man team, four from Japan and four from Ecma met for a full week in Manchester/UK and produced a second, entirely new version of the DIS which was eventually accepted as an International Standard ISO/IEC 9171, in 1990. The main characteristics of this International Standard are that it specifies a single unrecorded disk, but two different formats, viz. one based on the continuous composite servo (CCS) tracking method, the other on the sample servo tracking format (SSF).

1.3 ISO/IEC 10089 and ECMA-153

ISO/IEC 10089 is the first standard of the series of standards for R/W optical disk cartridges. It was developed in SC23 with the active participation of, and major contributions from, TC31. However, it still specifies the two different formats CCS and SSF.

TC31 derived from ISO/IEC 10089 a further standard, Standard ECMA-153, which uses the disk specified by ISO/IEC 10089, specifies a single format, viz. CCS only, and is intended for write once (WO) applications only, which is achieved by software means. This Ecma Standard was adopted under the fast-track procedure as International Standard ISO/IEC 11560.

1.4 ECMA-154, ISO/IEC 10090

In close co-operation with SC 23, TC31 developed Standard ECMA-154, the first standard for 90 mm ODCs. Its main characteristics are:
  • a single format, CCS, is specified,
  • the disk is R/W, but may contain data recorded in embossed parts (read only recording),
  • the whole editing, compared to that of ISO/IEC 10089 was improved.
The editing weakness of ISO/IEC 10089 is due to the fact that because two formats are specified, it was not always possible to separate cleanly and logically requirements for the disk from some requirements for the format(s). Standard ECMA-154 was adopted by ISO/IEC under the fast-track procedure as International Standard ISO/IEC 10090.

1.5 ECMA-130, ISO/IEC 10149

A small task force developed this standard. It was adopted under the fast-track procedure as an International Standard by ISO/IEC. It is the sole internationally recognized CD-ROM standard for data interchange.

The 2nd edition of ECMA-130 has been published in 1996.

2 Second Programme of Work of TC31, 1992-1996

The second programme of work adopted by TC31 comprises the development of
  • further 130 mm ODCs for different applications,
  • one standard for a 130 mm ODC of the WORM type,
  • further 90 mm ODCs for different applications,
  • two standards for 300 mm ODCs of the WORM type,
  • one standard for a 120 mm ODC for different applications.
As a result TC31 produced seven standards, four for 130 mm ODCs and three for 90 mm ODCs, specifying a single format of the CCS type: In addition two standards for 300 mm were produced, and one standard for 120 mm: ECMA-183, ECMA-184 and ECMA-201 have been adopted by ISO/IEC JTC 1 under the fast-track procedure as International Standards ISO/IEC 13481, ISO/IEC 13549 and ISO/IEC 13963, resp.

ECMA-195 has been used by SC 23 as basis for ISO/IEC 13842. The second edition of ECMA-195 is identical with this International Standard.

ECMA-238, ECMA-239 and ECMA-240 have been adopted by ISO/IEC JTC 1 under the fast-track procedure as International Standards ISO/IEC 15486, ISO/IEC 15498 and ISO/IEC 15485, resp. ECMA-238 is based on ISO/IEC 14517.

ECMA-189 and ECMA-190 have been used by SC 23 as basis for ISO/IEC 13614 and ISO/IEC 13403 resp.

3 Third Programme of Work of TC31, 1997 - 2000

The third programme of work adopted by TC31 comprises the development of:
  • 120 mm DVD - Read-Only disk standard, published as ECMA-267 and ISO/IEC 16448.The third, improved edition of ECMA-267 was published in April 2001.

5 Modus operandi of TC31

As in ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 23, TC31 undertakes a project when a number of Companies (National Bodies in JTC1) are willing and able to submit the necessary technical information needed for the development of a standard. These projects, which are basically application-driven, aim at offering to users the ODCs which fit best their needs. Obviously technology advances, for instance the availability of lasers with shorter wavelengths, also play a role in the decision to start a new project.

Ecma Standards for ODCs offer to the Information Technology community clear and explicit descriptions of the different media at the time of their availability on the market. The timely publication of these Ecma Standards is of primary interest to users. It cannot be the role of a standardization organization, whether Ecma or ISO, to make a selection amongst the proposed designs and thus preempt a decision which must be taken by the open market.

Another aspect to be noted, is that of the so-called backward compatibility. In general, this means that when an ODC of higher capacity is offered the corresponding new drive should be able to read ODCs of the previous generation. It must be understood that this is exclusively a drive and not an ODC problem. Indeed, the ability to read older ODCs is a technical-commercial decision to be taken by each manufacturer according to his analysis of the market. It is, so to say "always possible" to design a drive which can read - or even write on - previously used ODCs. This will depend on two factors a) will such a drive be needed, and b) can it be produced at a reasonable price.

6 Conclusion

From the above, it can be gathered that TC31 is operating in a controlled and systematic manner. The number of Ecma Standards and their adoption by ISO/IEC as International Standards reflect the considerable activity of the industry and the numerous but different needs of the users.
