<p>This Recommendation | International Standard:</p>
<p>? gives an introduction and motivation for ODP;</p>
<p>? provides an overview of the Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) and an</p>
<p>explanation of its key concepts;</p>
<p>? gives guidance on the application of the RM-ODP.</p>
<p>This Recommendation | International Standard covers both overview and detailed explanation, and can be consulted in</p>
<p>various ways when reading the standards:</p>
<p>a) if you intend to read only this Recommendation | International Standard, to gain a general understanding of</p>
<p>the importance of ODP to your organization, concentrate on clause 6;</p>
<p>b) if you intend to study the whole RM-ODP, you should also read clause 6 before moving on to</p>
<p>ITU-T Rec. X.902 | ISO/IEC 10746-2 and ITU-T Rec. X.903 | ISO/IEC 10746-3;</p>
<p>c) as you read ITU-T Rec. X.902 | ISO/IEC 10746-2 and ITU-T Rec. X.903 | ISO/IEC 10746-3 you may</p>
<p>wish to consult clauses 7 to 10, which give supporting explanation for the various concepts that these</p>
<p>common texts define;</p>
<p>d) when you have completed a first reading of ITU-T Rec. X.902 | ISO/IEC 10746-2 and ITU-T Rec. X.903 |</p>
<p>ISO/IEC 10746-3, read clauses 11 and 12 which discuss the use of standards in ODP system</p>
