Global Platform is at http://www.globalplatform.org/. For Java card start at http://java.sun.com/products/javacard/ - the Java Run Time spec (JCRE) shows that the only 7816-4 style command defined in JCRE is SELECT on AID. Multos 4 is the current Multos spec, but doesn't include the card platform identification - that is coming in a sort of Multos 4 plus.
ETSI SCP is the telecoms spec for a more general purpose platform than the GSM card specs. Try www.etsi.org and http://docbox.etsi.org/; if you have problems sorting out which spec is which, give Scott Guthery a shout (go via his comprehensive FAQ at http://www.scdk.com/atsfaq.htm). Someone from the UK who is on the GP Technical Committee and now has some time on his hands is Bill Reding ([EMAIL PROTECTED] +44 20 8991 9501). And another attempt at handling more than one card platform type is the USA GSC-IS (the generalised version of the military CAC spec), found on the USA NIST web site http://smartcard.nist.gov/. And, of course, MUSCLE people keep a close eye on the ATRs returned by various card types. This isn't guaranteed to be a foolproof or entirely stable way of identifying card platforms, but its the best that we have - should be on the MUSCLE web site.
