<abstract>
<t>This memorandum describes a set of MIME types for use with the ISO Interlibrary Loan Protocol (,).Two MIME types are specified below.</t>
<t>The first is a media type to carry objects which areBERencoded ISO ILL Protocol Data Units (PDU's).BER are the basic Encoding Rules used to encode  PDU's which have been described usingASN.1(Abstract Syntax Notation 1).</t>
<t>The second is for use with the associated document delivery instructions. Document Delivery Instructions (DDI) is an emerging protocol which enables automatic electronic delivery of items. It allows a request management system (which might have received a request for an item via the ISO Interlibrary Loan Protocol (,) to pass details of the request, item, and delivery, to a delivery module, and to receive back reports on the delivery process or arrival of an item. It is currently being submitted to the ISO TC46/SC4/WG4 committee for approval as an ISO standard.</t></abstract></front>
