ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 - UPDATE 2013 DRAFT VERSION7.6 Agency codesIn the 2007 version of the standard, Record Type-1 fields for agency identification werecomprised of one information item {destination}{originating} agency identifier / DAI orORI. The 2008 version of the standard added a second optional information item{destination}{originating} agency name / DAN or OAN, and is a text description of theorganization name. In this version of the standard, the agency names (DAN and OAN) arecontained in a new field (Field 1.017 Agency names / ANM) since information itemscannot be added to existing fields in Traditional encoding and still preserve backwardcompatibility. DAN and OAN have an unlimited maximum number of characters in thisversion. XML encoding is not dependent upon the field number, so there is no changerequired for compatibility with the 2008 version. Both information items in ANM areoptional and may be encoded using alphanumeric characters with any special charactersallowed in ASCII.The affected fields are:• Field 1.007 Destination agency identifier / DAI• Field 1.008 Originating agency identifier / ORI• Field 1.017 Agency names / ANMIn many Record types, Field xx.004 contains the SRC. This is the identifier of the agencythat actually created the record and supplied the information contained in it. (The ORIspecified in Field 1.008 Originating agency identifier / ORI is the organization thatcreated the transaction, which may be assembled from record(s) received from anotheragency or agencies). SRC is unlimited in size and is “U” character type.In order to maintain backward compatibility with the 2007 version while maintainingbackward compatibility with the 2008 version, a new optional Field xx.993 has been addedfor the Source agency name / SAN. SAN is up to 125 characters and in “U” character type(unlike the information items in Field 1.017 Agency names / ANM which only allow thecharacters that can be represented in ASCII).For example, in Record Type-13, there are two fields:• Field 13.004: Source agency/ SRC• Field 13.993: Source agency name / SANIn Record Type-18 there is an information item, the name of the organization / NOO (inField 18.003: DNA laboratory setting / DLS ) that processed the DNA data. This may bedifferent from the agency in Field 18.004: Source agency / SRC and from the agency listedin Field 1.008 Originating agency identifier / ORI.[2013v>] Field 11.005: Voice recording source organization / VRSO containsinformation about the site or agency that created the voice recording referenced in therecord. It may be different from the Source agency and the Originating agency. [
