Specifies a Services Interface that gives any program full access to Information Resource Dictionary System (IRDS) services, through whatever external call interface is provided by the language in which the program is written. Makes no assumptions about an implementation environment, and assumes no specific run time or compile time interfaces. Coverage includes: definitions and abbreviations; IRDS concepts and facilities; abstract data structures; services concepts and facilities; service data structures; service formats and descriptions.
