The IPH standard consists of 5 parts. Parts 1 and 2 are statements of the
purpose and basis of the standard. Parts 3-4, the outline of the
relational database, are reproduced in the following table. Part 5 is an
outline of the system for classifying watermarks, which provides the means
for identification of watermarks in the database, but is not itself a file
within the database. The standard concludes with two addenda and two
appendices. The addenda include:
-
a key to the alphanumeric code used for description of watermarks
-
the International Automobile code used here for identification of
countries.
The two appendices include:
-
A comprehensive index of Classes and Subclasses of Watermarks
