Terminology work - Principles and methods

ISO 704:2009 establishes the basic principles and methods for preparing and compiling terminologies both inside and outside the framework of standardization, and describes the links between objects, concepts, and their terminological representations. It also establishes general principles governing the formation of designations and the formulation of definitions. Full and complete understanding of these principles requires some background knowledge of terminology work. The principles are general in nature and this document is applicable to terminology work in scientific, technological, industrial, administrative and other fields of knowledge. ISO 704:2009 does not stipulate procedures for the layout of international terminology standards, which are treated in ISO 10241.

Terminology work - Principles and methods

<p> La présente Norme internationale établit et harmonise les principes fondamentaux et les méthodes pour préparer et compiler des terminologies, qu'il s'agisse d'activités menées dans le cadre de la normalisation ou non. La présente Norme internationale décrit les liens existant entre les objets, les concepts, et leurs représentations par des terminologies. Elle fixe également des principes généraux régissant la formation des désignations et la formulation des définitions. Pour une compréhension complète et approfondie de ces principes, des connaissances de fond de la terminologie sont nécessaires. Il s'agit de principes de nature générale et la présente Norme internationale s'applique aux travaux terminologiques effectués dans des domaines scientifiques, technologiques, industriels, administratifs, ainsi que dans les autres domaines de la connaissance. La présente Norme internationale ne décrit pas les méthodes pour la présentation des Normes internationales de terminologie, celles-ci étant traitées dans l'ISO 10241. </p>

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
