Proceedings of the National Bureau of Standards/National Security Agency Workshop on Standardization Issues for Optical Digital Data Disk (OD3) Technology Held at Gaithersburg, Maryland on June 1-3, 1983

摘要

This report constitutes the proceedings of the National Bureau of Standards/National Security Agency jointly-sponsored Workshop on Standardization Issues for Optical Digital Data Disk (OD) Technology, held in Gaithersburg, Maryland, June 1-3, 1983. The objective of this workshop is to promote discussion and interchange among current and potential OD users and suppliers, regarding the prospects for OD data interchange standardization. The workshop presentations include definitions of the physical, dimensional, optoelectrical, quality and data transfer characteristics of OD media, as related to the drive performance. A range of OD applications and their standards' requirements are also described. The various methods currently used for estimating media life expectancies and the potential for standardized terminologies and procedures for such assessments are discussed.
