23、reemailing clients of the SABS .ISO 30042:2008(E)ForewordThe International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each m

24、ember 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, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International

25、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 ISO technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards

26、 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 possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

27、patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 30042 was prepared by LISA OSCAR and was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure“, by Technical Committee ISO/TC 37, Terminology and other language and content resources, Subcommittee SC 3, Syst

28、ems to manage terminology, knowledge and content, in parallel with its approval by the ISO member bodies.The Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA - www.lisa.org) is the standards organization for the globalization industry. Within LISA, the OSCAR (Open Standards for Container/content Al

29、lowing Reuse) Special Interest Group develops XML-based standards for automated language-processing in the areas of globalization, internationalization, localization, and translation, including standards for translation memory, terminology, text memory, word/character counts, and other related areas

30、. The main task of the OSCAR Special Interest Group is to develop standards to facilitate and automate the globalization of products and services in a way that supports local language and culture conventions. Publication as an OSCAR standard requires approval by the OSCAR steering committee. An earl

33、ed subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS .ISO 30042:2008(E)IntroductionThis International Standard defines an XML-based framework for representing structured terminological data referred to as TermBase eXchange (TBX). Within this framework, a variety of terminological markup languages (TM

34、Ls) can be defined. A TML defined by TBX can facilitate the interchange of terminological data between users, which include people such as translators and writers, and applications and systems, such as Computer Assisted Translation tools and controlled authoring software. Therefore, it can be used f

35、or both human-oriented and machine-oriented terminological data. In this manner, it can enable the flow of terminological information throughout the information production cycle, both inside an organization and with outside service providers.The intended audience for this document consists of two gr

36、oups: (1) programmers and analysts who wish to develop software applications that process TBX-compliant data files; (2) terminologists and other language specialists who wish to analyse a terminological data collection for representation in TBX or to understand a TBX file.This version of TBX is an u

37、pdate of a version that was published by the Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA) in 2002. Among other enhancements, the current version provides reference to an integrated schema that includes the core-structure module and the data-category constraints in combined declarations using t

38、he Relax NG and Schematron languages. It also provides reference to a TBX-compliant TML called TBX-Basic.Users of this International Standard should first study the body (clauses 1-12). The suggested use of annexes A-I is described below.(1) The core-structure module of TBXAll TMLs within the TBX fr

39、amework have the same core structure. The core-structure module is described in Clause 8. A DTD for the core-structure module is found in Annex A. The elements, attributes, and data types are described in Annex D, and listed alphabetically in Annex I.(2) The XCS moduleTMLs may differ with respect to

40、 which data-categories are allowed, and at what levels of a terminological entry these data-categories can occur. These constraints on the core structure, which define a particular TML, are formally represented in an XCS file. A DTD for the XCS module is found in Annex B. The elements and attributes

41、 are described in Annex E, and listed alphabetically in Annex I.(3) The default XCS of TBXThe TBX-default TML is constrained by the default XCS file. The TBX default XCS is described in Clause 9. The default XCS file is provided in Annex C. The data-categories are described in Annex D, and listed al

42、phabetically in Annex I.(4) Compliance checking of TBX document instancesOnce a TBX TML has been defined by an XCS, a TBX document instance can be checked for compliance with that TML. The requirements for compliance are found in Clause 7. One can use a variety of methods and schema definition langu

43、ages to check compliance. In particular, the Relax NG schema referred to in Annex F can be used to check whether a TBX document instance is compliant with the TBX-default TML. Annex F also indicates where a TBX user can find additional resources for compliance checking. Another TBX TML, called TBX-B

44、asic, is referred to in Annex G.(5) Changes that have been made to TBX since its submission to ISO in February 2007 are summarized in Annex H.Summary of annexes:A: DTD for core-structure moduleB: DTD for XCS moduleC: Default XCS that defines the TBX-default TMLD: Descriptions of core structure eleme

47、ort various types of processes involving terminological data, including analysis, descriptive representation, dissemination, and interchange (exchange), in various computer environments. The primary purpose of TBX is for interchange of terminological data. It is limited in its ability to represent p

48、resentational markup. Intended application areas include translation and authoring.TBX is modular in order to support the varying types of terminological data, or data-categories, that are included in different terminological databases (termbases). TBX includes two modules: a core structure, and a f

49、ormalism for identifying a set of data-categories and their constraints, both expressed in XML. The term TBX, when used alone, refers to the framework consisting of these two interacting modules.To maximize interoperability of the actual terminological data, TBX also provides a default set of data-categories that are commonly used in terminological databases. However, subsets or supersets of the default set of data-categories can be used within the TBX framework to support specific user requirements.TBX, when used with its default set of data-categories
