1. Introduction
Abstract Syntax Notation X (ASN.X) [ASN.X] is an Extensible Markup
Language (XML) [XML10] [XML11] representation for Abstract Syntax
Notation One (ASN.1) [X.680] specifications. The ASN.X
representation for the ASN.1 basic notation [X.680] [X.680-1] is
described elsewhere [ASN.X].
The grammar of ASN.1 permits the application of encoding instructions
[X.680-1], through type prefixes and encoding control sections, that
modify how abstract values are encoded by nominated encoding rules.
The generic notation for type prefixes and encoding control sections
is defined by the ASN.1 basic notation; however, the notation for
specific encoding instructions, i.e., the EncodingInstruction and
EncodingInstructionAssignmentList productions of the notation, are
defined separately for each set of encoding rules using encoding
instructions. This document specifies the ASN.X representation for
EncodingInstructionAssignmentList and EncodingInstruction as they are
defined for the XML Encoding Rules (XER) [X.693][X.693-1].
ASN.X is defined in terms of rules for translating from an ASN.1
specification. This does not preclude an ASN.X module being written
directly without a pre-existing ASN.1 module; however, such an ASN.X
module is considered valid if and only if there exists, in principle,
an ASN.1 module that when translated would yield the ASN.X module.
By design, an ASN.X module is also the Robust XML Encoding Rules
(RXER) [RXER] encoding of an ASN.1 value. The ASN.1 type definitions
for such values, insofar as they pertain to the ASN.1 basic notation,
are provided elsewhere [ASN.X]; however, this document provides the
ASN.1 type definitions for representing XER encoding instructions as
abstract values. These definitions appear in Appendix A.
The ASN.X translation of the ASN.1 module in Appendix A is presented
in Appendix B.
The General Considerations of the specification for ASN.X [ASN.X]
also apply here.
2. Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", and "MAY" in this document are
to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [BCP14]. The key
word "OPTIONAL" is exclusively used with its ASN.1 meaning.
A reference to an ASN.1 production [X.680] (e.g., Type, NamedType) is
a reference to the text in an ASN.1 specification corresponding to
that production.
The description of the translation of XER encoding instructions into
ASN.X makes use of definitions from the XML Information Set (Infoset)
[INFOSET]. In particular, information item property names follow the
Infoset convention of being shown in square brackets, e.g.,
[local name]. Literal values of Infoset properties are enclosed in
double quotes; however, the double quotes are not part of the
property values. In the sections that follow, "information item"
will be abbreviated to "item", e.g., "element information item" is
abbreviated to "element item". Element items will be referred to by
their [local name] in angle brackets, e.g., "the <name> element item"
means the element item with the [local name] "name". Attribute items
will be referred to by their [local name], e.g., "the name attribute
item" means the attribute item with the [local name] "name".
Code points for characters [UNICODE] are expressed using the Unicode
convention U+n, where n is four to six hexadecimal digits, e.g., the
space character is U+0020.
3. Preprocessing of ImportedTypesIdentification
Interpretation of an ImportedTypesIdentification depends on a
SymbolList in the Imports of a module, but a SymbolList does not have
a direct translation into ASN.X. A module containing at least one
ImportedTypesIdentification must be preprocessed so that each
ImportedTypesIdentification has the intended effect.
If an EncodingInstruction in an XER EncodingInstructionAssignmentList
has a Targets instance that is an ImportedTypesIdentification, then
each Type affected by the ImportedTypesIdentification MUST be
replaced by an EncodingPrefixedType where the Type in the
EncodingPrefixedType is the original Type and the EncodingPrefix
contains the EncodingInstruction minus the TargetList. The
ImportedTypesIdentification SHALL be removed. If the
EncodingInstruction in the EncodingInstructionAssignmentList has no
other Targets instances, then it MUST be removed from the
EncodingInstructionAssignmentList.
4. EncodingInstructionAssignmentList Translation
As described in the specification for ASN.X [ASN.X], the translation
of an EncodingControlSection for XER is an element item with the
[local name] "XER". The translation of the
EncodingInstructionAssignmentList in such an EncodingControlSection
determines the content of the <XER> element item.
An element item with the [local name] "annotation" MAY be added to
the [children] of the <XER> element item.
The translation of each EncodingInstruction nested in the
EncodingInstructionAssignmentList SHALL be appended to the [children]
of the <XER> element item.
5. EncodingInstruction Translation
The translation of an EncodingInstruction for XER can appear in the
translation of an EncodingInstructionAssignmentList (see the previous
section) or an EncodingPrefix. The translation for an EncodingPrefix
is described by the specification for ASN.X [ASN.X].
The translation of an EncodingInstruction in an
EncodingInstructionAssignmentList for XER is an element item with the
[local name] "targettedInstruction". The translation of the
PositiveInstruction or NegatingInstruction in the EncodingInstruction
SHALL be added to the [children] of the <targettedInstruction>
element item. The translation of the TargetList nested in the
encoding instruction SHALL be appended to the [children] of the
<targettedInstruction> element item.
Aside: The TargetList appears within an EncodingInstruction in an
EncodingInstructionAssignmentList, but its ASN.X translation
appears immediately after the translation of the
EncodingInstruction, rather than within it.
Example
ENCODING-CONTROL XER
GLOBAL-DEFAULTS MODIFIED-ENCODINGS
ATTRIBUTE MyType
<encodingControls>
<XER>
<targettedInstruction>
<globalDefaults>
<modifiedEncodings/>
</globalDefaults>
</targettedInstruction>
<targettedInstruction>
<attribute/>
<target type="MyType"/>
</targettedInstruction>
</XER>
</encodingControls>
The translation of an EncodingInstruction for XER in an
EncodingPrefix is the translation of the PositiveInstruction or
NegatingInstruction in the EncodingInstruction.
Aside: The TargetList within an EncodingInstruction in an
EncodingPrefix is required to be empty and has no ASN.X
translation in this context.
The translation of a PositiveInstruction is the translation of the
AnyAttributeInstruction, AnyElementInstruction, AttributeInstruction,
Base64Instruction, DecimalInstruction, DefaultForEmptyInstruction,
EmbedValuesInstruction, GlobalDefaultsInstruction, ListInstruction,
NameInstruction, NamespaceInstruction, PIOrCommentInstruction,
TextInstruction, UntaggedInstruction, UseNilInstruction,
UseNumberInstruction, UseOrderInstruction, UseQNameInstruction,
UseTypeInstruction, UseUnionInstruction or WhitespaceInstruction in
the PositiveInstruction.
The translation of a NegatingInstruction that is an
ElementInstruction is the translation of that ElementInstruction.
The translation of a NegatingInstruction that is not an
ElementInstruction is an element item where the [local name] is the
concatenation of "not-" and the [local name] that would be used by
the translation of the PositiveInstruction in the
NegatingInstruction. No items are added to the [attributes] or
[children] of the element item resulting from the translation of a
NegatingInstruction.
Example
[XER:NOT ATTRIBUTE] MyType
<type>
<prefixed>
<XER><not-attribute/></XER>
<type ref="MyType"/>
</prefixed>
</type>
5.1. AnyAttributesInstruction Translation
The translation of an AnyAttributesInstruction is an element item
with the [local name] "anyAttributes". If a NamespaceRestriction is
present in the AnyAttributesInstruction, then the translation of the
NamespaceRestriction SHALL be added to the [children] of the
<anyAttributes> element item.

<anyAttributes>
<namespace>http://example.com</namespace>
<local/>
</anyAttributes>
5.1.1. NamespaceRestriction Translation
The NamespaceRestriction production is common to the
AnyAttributesInstruction production and the AnyElementInstruction
production.

each QuotedURIorAbsent nested in the URIList SHALL be appended to the
[children] of the <from> element item.
The translation of a NamespaceRestriction of the "EXCEPT URIList"
form is an element item with the [local name] "except". The
translation of each QuotedURIorAbsent nested in the URIList SHALL be
appended to the [children] of the <except> element item.
The translation of a QuotedURIorAbsent that is a QuotedURI is an
element item with the [local name] "namespace". The sequence of
character items for the URI in the QuotedURI is added to the
[children] of the <namespace> element item.
The translation of a QuotedURIorAbsent of the "ABSENT" form is an
element item with the [local name] "local".
5.2. AnyElementInstruction Translation

If the DefaultSetting in the GlobalDefaultsInstruction is "MODIFIED-
ENCODINGS", then an element item with the [local name]
"modifiedEncodings" SHALL be added to the [children] of the
<globalDefaults> element item.
If the DefaultSetting in the GlobalDefaultsInstruction is a
ControlNamespace, then the translation of the ControlNamespace SHALL
be added to the [children] of the <globalDefaults> element item.
The translation of a ControlNamespace is an element item with the
[local name] "controlNamespace". An attribute item with the
[local name] "name" SHALL be added to the [attributes] of the
<controlNamespace> element item. The [normalized value] of this
attribute item is the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) [URI] in the
QuotedURI in the ControlNamespace. If the ControlNamespace has a
Prefix, then an attribute item with the [local name] "prefix" SHALL
be added to the [attributes] of the <controlNamespace> element item.
The [normalized value] of this attribute item is the NCName in the
QuotedNCName in the Prefix.

[local name] "name".
If the NewNameOrKeyword in the NameInstruction is a NewName, then an
attribute item with the [local name] "newName" SHALL be added to the
[attributes] of the <name> element item. The [normalized value] of
this attribute item is the character string value of the
RestrictedCharacterStringValue in the NewName.
If the NewNameOrKeyword in the NameInstruction is a Keyword, then an
attribute item with the [local name] "conversion" SHALL be added to
the [attributes] of the <name> element item. The [normalized value]
of this attribute item is the word in the Keyword with all letters
downcased, i.e., "capitalized", "uncapitalized", "uppercased", or
"lowercased".
Example
NAME AS UNCAPITALIZED
<name conversion="uncapitalized"/>
NAME AS "category"
<name newName="category"/>
5.12. NamespaceInstruction Translation
The translation of a NamespaceInstruction is an element item with the
[local name] "namespace".
If a NamespaceSpecification is present in the NamespaceInstruction,
then an attribute item with the [local name] "name" SHALL be added to
the [attributes] of the <namespace> element item. The
[normalized value] of this attribute item is the URI in the QuotedURI
in the NamespaceSpecification.
If a Prefix is present in the NamespaceSpecification, then an
attribute item with the [local name] "prefix" SHALL be added to the
[attributes] of the <namespace> element item. The [normalized value]
of this attribute item is the NCName in the QuotedNCName in the
Prefix.
Example
NAMESPACE AS "http://example.com" PREFIX "ex"
<namespace name="http://example.com" prefix="ex"/>
5.13. PIOrCommentInstruction Translation
The translation of a PIOrCommentInstruction is an element item with
the [local name] "piOrComment".
An attribute item with the [local name] "text" SHALL be added to the
[attributes] of the <piOrComment> element item. The
[normalized value] of this attribute item is the character string
value of the RestrictedCharacterStringValue in the
PIOrCommentInstruction.
An attribute item with the [local name] "position" SHALL be added to
the [attributes] of the <piOrComment> element item. The
[normalized value] of this attribute item is "beforeTag" if the
keyword in the Position in the PIOrCommentInstruction is BEFORE-TAG,
"beforeValue" if the keyword in the Position is BEFORE-VALUE,
"afterValue" if the keyword in the Position is AFTER-VALUE, or
"afterTag" if the keyword in the Position is AFTER-TAG.
Example
PI-OR-COMMENT AS "<!-- This is a comment. -->" BEFORE-TAG
<piOrComment text="<!-- This is a comment. -->"
position="beforeTag"/>
5.14. TextInstruction Translation
The translation of a TextInstruction is an element item with the
[local name] "text".
If a TextToBeUsed is present in the TextInstruction and the
NewNameOrKeyword in the TextToBeUsed is a NewName, then an attribute
item with the [local name] "newName" SHALL be added to the
[attributes] of the <text> element item. The [normalized value] of
this attribute item is the character string value of the
RestrictedCharacterStringValue in the NewName.
If a TextToBeUsed is present in the TextInstruction and the
NewNameOrKeyword in the TextToBeUsed is a Keyword, then an attribute
item with the [local name] "conversion" SHALL be added to the
[attributes] of the <name> element item. The [normalized value] of
this attribute item is the word in the Keyword with all letters
downcased, i.e., "capitalized", "uncapitalized", "uppercased", or
"lowercased".
Examples
TEXT AS UPPERCASED
<text conversion="uppercased"/>
TEXT AS "A4"

The translation of a WhiteSpaceInstruction is an element item with
the [local name] "whiteSpace".
An attribute item with the [local name] "action" SHALL be added to
the [attributes] of the <whiteSpace> element item. The
[normalized value] of this attribute item is the word in the
WhiteSpaceAction in the WhiteSpaceInstruction with all letters
downcased, i.e., "replace" or "collapse".
Example
WHITESPACE COLLAPSE
<whiteSpace action="collapse"/>
6. TargetList Translation
The TargetList production is common to all the encoding instructions.
The translation of a TargetList is the concatenation of the
translations of each Targets instance in the TargetList.
The translation of a Targets instance is an element item with the
[local name] "target". The translation of the TypeIdentification,
BuiltInTypeIdentification or IdentifiersInContext in the Targets
instance SHALL be added to the [children] and/or [attributes] of the
<target> element item.
Aside: A Targets instance that is an ImportedTypesIdentification
will have been removed by the preprocessing described in
Section 3.
6.1. TypeIdentification Translation
The translation of a TypeIdentification of the "ALL" form is an
element item with the [local name] "allTypes"; otherwise, the
translation of a TypeIdentification is the translation of its
ModuleAndTypeReference followed by the translation of its
ComponentReference, if present, followed by the translation of its
QualifyingInformationPart, if present.
The translation of a ModuleAndTypeReference is an attribute item with
the [local name] "type". The [normalized value] of this attribute
item is a qualified name [XMLNS10] for the expanded name
corresponding to the typereference in the ModuleAndTypeReference (see
Section 5.1 of the specification for ASN.X [ASN.X]).
The translation of a ComponentReference is an element item with the
[local name] "component". The [children] property of the <component>
element item is set to the sequence of character items for a solidus
('/', U+002F) separated list of the translations of the ComponentId
instances in the ComponentIdList in the ComponentReference, excluding
"ALL" if present. Leading and/or trailing white space character
items [ASN.X] MAY be added to the [children] of the <component>
element item. White space character items MAY be added immediately
before and/or after any character item for the solidus character
('/', U+002F). If the final ComponentId in the ComponentIdList in
the ComponentReference is "ALL", then an element item with the
[local name] "allTextuallyPresent" SHALL follow the <component>
element item.
If a ComponentId identifies the Type in a NamedType, then the
translation of the ComponentId is a qualified name for the expanded
name [XMLNS10] of the NamedType [RXEREI]. If the NamedType is
subject to an RXER ATTRIBUTE or ATTRIBUTE-REF encoding instruction
[RXEREI], or subject to an RXER COMPONENT-REF encoding instruction
that references a top-level NamedType that is subject to an RXER
ATTRIBUTE encoding instruction, then the qualified name is prefixed
with the commercial at character ('@', U+0040).
If a ComponentId identifies a Type that is not in a NamedType (i.e.,
the component type for a SEQUENCE OF Type or SET OF Type), then the
translation of the ComponentId is the character string "item".
If a ComponentId does not identify a Type and the ComponentId is an
identifier, then the translation of the ComponentId is the
identifier.
If a ComponentId does not identify a Type and the ComponentId is "*",
then the translation of the ComponentId is the character string
"item".
The <component> element item is required to be self-contained [RXER].
Aside: An element item is self-contained if all namespace prefixes
used by the element item and its contents are declared within the
element item.
The translation of a QualifyingInformationPart is the translation of
the QualifyingInformation instance in the QualifyingInformationPart.
The translation of a QualifyingInformation instance of the
"identifier" form is an element item with the [local name]
"identifier". An attribute item with the [local name] "name" SHALL
be added to the [attributes] of the <identifier> element item. If
the ModuleTypeAndReference and ComponentReference (if present) in the
TypeIdentification identify a BIT STRING, ENUMERATED, or INTEGER type
where the associated BitStringType, EnumeratedType, or IntegerType
(respectively) is subject to an RXER VALUES encoding instruction,
then the [normalized value] of the attribute item is the replacement
name [RXEREI] for the identifier; otherwise, the [normalized value]
is the identifier.
The translation of a QualifyingInformation instance of the "ALL" form
is an element item with the [local name] "allIdentifiers".
Examples
Assume this type assignment:
MyType ::= SEQUENCE {
a SEQUENCE OF CHOICE {
b ENUMERATED { red, green, blue },
c INTEGER
}
}
MyType.a.*.ALL
<target type="MyType">
<component> a / item </component>
<allTextuallyPresent/>
</target>
MyType.a.*.b:ALL
<target type="MyType">
<component> a / item / b </component>
<allIdentifiers/>
</target>
6.2. BuiltInTypeIdentification Translation
The translation of a BuiltInTypeIdentification is the translation of
its BuiltInTypeName followed by the translation of its
BuiltInTypeQualifyingInformationPart, if present.
If the BuiltInTypeName is "BIT STRING", "BOOLEAN",
"CHARACTER STRING", "EMBEDDED PDV", "EXTERNAL", "GeneralizedTime",
"INTEGER", "NULL", "ObjectDescriptor", "OBJECT IDENTIFIER",
"OCTET STRING", "REAL", "RELATIVE-OID", or "UTCTime", then the
translation of the BuiltInTypeName is an attribute item with the
[local name] "type". The [normalized value] of this attribute item
is a qualified name with the namespace name being
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:asnx" and the local part being the
BuiltInTypeName with any white space separators replaced by a single
hyphen character ('-', U+002D), e.g., BIT STRING becomes BIT-STRING.
If the BuiltInTypeName is a RestrictedCharacterStringType, then the
translation of the BuiltInTypeName is an attribute item with the
[local name] "type". The [normalized value] of this attribute item
is a qualified name with the namespace name being
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:asnx" and the local part being the
RestrictedCharacterStringType, i.e., BMPString, GeneralString,
GraphicString, IA5String, ISO646String, NumericString,
PrintableString, TeletexString, T61String, UniversalString,
UTF8String, VideotexString, or VisibleString.
If the BuiltInTypeName is "CHOICE", then the translation of the
BuiltInTypeName is an element item with the [local name] "choice".
If the BuiltInTypeName is "ENUMERATED", then the translation of the
BuiltInTypeName is an element item with the [local name]
"enumerated".
If the BuiltInTypeName is "INSTANCE OF", then the translation of the
BuiltInTypeName is an element item with the [local name]
"instanceOf".
If the BuiltInTypeName is "SEQUENCE", then the translation of the
BuiltInTypeName is an element item with the [local name] "sequence".
If the BuiltInTypeName is "SEQUENCE OF", then the translation of the
BuiltInTypeName is an element item with the [local name]
"sequenceOf".
If the BuiltInTypeName is "SET", then the translation of the
BuiltInTypeName is an element item with the [local name] "set".
If the BuiltInTypeName is "SET OF", then the translation of the
BuiltInTypeName is an element item with the [local name] "setOf".
The translation of a BuiltInTypeQualifyingInformationPart is the
translation of the BuiltInTypeQualifyingInformation instance in the
BuiltInTypeQualifyingInformationPart.
The translation of a BuiltInTypeQualifyingInformation instance of the
"identifier" form is an element item with the [local name]
"identifier". An attribute item with the [local name] "name" SHALL
be added to the [attributes] of the <identifier> element item. The
[normalized value] of this attribute item is the identifier in the
BuiltInTypeQualifyingInformation instance.
The translation of a BuiltInTypeQualifyingInformation instance of the
"ALL" form is an element item with the [local name] "allIdentifiers".
Examples
BOOLEAN:true
<target xmlns:asnx="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:asnx"
type="asnx:BOOLEAN">
<identifier name="true"/>
</target>
ENUMERATED:ALL
<target>
<enumerated/>
<allIdentifiers/>
</target>
6.3. IdentifiersInContext Translation
The translation of an IdentifiersInContext instance is an element
item with the [local name] "components".
If the IdentifierList in the IdentifiersInContext instance is not of
the "ALL" or "COMPONENTS" form, then for each identifier in the
IdentifierList, an element item with the same [local name] (i.e.,
"attribute", "element", "component", "group", "item", "member", or
"simpleContent") as the translation of the NamedType corresponding to
the identifier SHALL be appended to the [children] of the
<components> element item. An attribute item with the [local name]
"name" SHALL be added to the [attributes] of each <attribute>,
<element>, <component>, <group>, <item>, <member>, or <simpleContent>
element item. The [normalized value] of each of these attribute
items is a qualified name for the expanded name [XMLNS10] of the
NamedType [RXEREI] corresponding to the identifier.
If the IdentifierList in the IdentifiersInContext instance is of the
"ALL" form, then an element item with the [local name]
"allTextuallyPresent" SHALL be appended to the [children] of the
<components> element item.
If the IdentifierList in the IdentifiersInContext instance is of the
"COMPONENTS" form, then an element item with the [local name]
"allFirstLevel" SHALL be appended to the [children] of the
<components> element item.
An element item with the [local name] "in" SHALL be appended to the
[children] of the <components> element item. The translation of the
TypeIdentification in the IdentifiersInContext instance SHALL be
added to the [children] and/or [attributes] of the <in> element item.
Example
Assume this type assignment:
MyType ::= SEQUENCE {
field INTEGER,
fieldAtt [RXER:NAME AS "field"][RXER:ATTRIBUTE] BOOLEAN
}
field, fieldAtt IN MyType
<target>
<components>
<element name="field"/>
<attribute name="field"/>
<in type="MyType"/>
</components>
</target>
7. Security Considerations
The ASN.X translation of an XER encoding instruction is semantically
equivalent to the original XER encoding instruction. The security
considerations that apply to an application built from an original
ASN.1 specification with XER encoding instructions apply equally to
an application built from the ASN.X translation of the ASN.1
specification.
See the main specification for ASN.X [ASN.X] for security
considerations related to ASN.X modules.
