n The Orange Book standard defines how all recordable discs (including CD-R and CD-RW) are

written. Part 2 of the Orange Book standard relates to CD-R discs and Part 3, to CD-RW discs.
The standard was named after the color of the book’s pages.  Similarly, the Red Book standard
relates to audio (CD-DA) discs and the Yellow Book standard relates to CD-ROM discs. 

A CD-ROM disc is a compact disc containing high-density read-only data.  It
has many applications, including the playback of music and video, the
archiving of data, as well as on-line documentation.  The following are
