The work of preparing International S

20、tandards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, als

21、o take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committe

22、es is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possi

23、bility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 1951 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 37, Terminology and other language and content resources, Subcommittee SC 2, Ter

24、minographical and lexicographical working methods. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1951:1997), the scope of which has been extended in order to address publishers and users needs by taking into account various types of electronic dictionaries and the constraints of si

25、ngle sourcing for producing dictionaries, as well as disseminating and reusing data in lexicographical practice. Real dictionary entries used as examples in this International Standard only illustrate the principles of XML representation of lexicographical data and their associated presentations. Th

SANS 1951:2008This standard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS.ISO 1951:2007(E) ISO 2007 All rights reserved vIntroduction General aim of this International Standard During the past decade, diction

27、ary-making processes have undergone important changes due to the spread of electronic dictionaries. Consequently, lexicographers are faced with a growing diversification of methods during dictionary preparation and publishing. This revised International Standard aims to support the creation and mana

28、gement of various types of dictionaries. It takes into account different ways of using dictionaries, especially such new functionalities of electronic documents as hyperlinks. To allow dictionary content to be reused in different printed and electronic formats, lexicographers increasingly tend to cr

29、eate a single well-structured lexicographical source or data repository. In addition to reproducing all the typographical conventions described in the former edition of ISO 1951, this revised International Standard provides a specific model based on current best professional practices, in order to a

30、llow necessary production, exchange and management procedures. In the text of this International Standard, the use of the auxiliary verb “shall” indicates a requirement or specification that is to be met precisely as stated; the use of the auxiliary verb “should” indicates a recommendation of a good

31、 way to do something that is to be followed unless a better way can be demonstrated to have been adopted; and the use of the auxiliary verb “can” indicates information that the user may find useful.

33、ation 1 Scope This International Standard deals with monolingual and multilingual, general and specialized dictionaries. It specifies a formal generic structure independent of the publishing media and it proposes means of presenting entries in print and electronic dictionaries. The relationship betw

34、een the formal structure and the presentation of entries used by publishers and read by users is explained in examples provided in the informative annexes. The objective of this International Standard is to facilitate the production, merging, comparison, extraction, exchange, dissemination and retri

35、eval of lexicographical data in dictionaries. Following a lexicographical lemma-oriented approach, it does not deal with concept-oriented works as defined in ISO 704. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated reference

36、s, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

37、he purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 704 and ISO 1087-1 and the following apply. These definitions concern basic and unambiguous terms of dictionary structure and presentation, common in most types of dictionaries, which are within the scope of this International Stan

38、dard. Terms considered specific to certain dictionaries have not been included here. 3.1 comment metalinguistic information describing a lexical unit (3.8) by means of lexicographical data elements (3.3) or compositional elements (3.2) 3.2 compositional element composite information unit made of ele

39、ments NOTE There are three families of compositional elements: blocks (3.2.1), containers (3.2.2) and groups (3.2.3).

41、on about one single specific data element (3.3) by the mean of other elements (3.5) EXAMPLE A headword container is used for giving the pronunciation or the part of speech which refines a headword (3.6) which is itself the refined data element. NOTE 1 Adapted from ISO 16642:2003, C.4.5. NOTE 2 An ex

42、ample of a container is provided in Tables 4 and 5. 3.2.3 group compositional element (3.2) used to aggregate several independent elements (3.5) EXAMPLE A sense is described by a group of elements such as definition, subject field, etc. NOTE An example of a group is provided in Tables 15 and 16. 3.3

43、 data element data category unit of data for which the definition, identification, representation, and permissible values are specified by means of a set of attributes ISO/IEC 11179-1:2004, definition 3.3.8 NOTE Lists of data elements are provided in Tables 1 and 2. 3.4 dictionary entry lexicographi

49、sitional elements Dictionary entries can be seen as comments about topics, that are lexical units. An entry has a main topic (the headword); other topics (e.g. variants, translations) are said to be “related topics”. Topics and comments are data elements. Each data element has a content model. Data elements are grouped into compositional elements in order to produce an unambiguous and fully computable entry. Open lists of data elements and compositional elements are provided herein, and are extendable by the user for specific purp
