The full title of Rec. E.115 is "Computerizedd Information Service for
Telephone Subscriber Numbers in Foreign Countries (Directory Assistance), 
Reserved for Operators".

This Rec. contains not only the rules for operating the service, but
also the format of the messages, and the protocols to be used.  There
is also a format definition of directory messages in ASN.1.

This Rec. has only been implemented in a limited number of European
countries.  There is general thatt the future for this kind of system
lies with the use of F.500 and X.500 based systems.
