Annex E

(Informative)

Catalog Module Examples

This annex is a companion to 5.2, to provide user assistance in the preparation of Global Information modules. The examples in this annex demonstrate the logical encoding of the Catalog global modules.

E.1 Catalog/Directory

The following table demonstrates the use of the Catalog/Directory module (module types have been abbreviated to fit the table):
