2、NDARDNational forewordThis British Standard is the UK implementation of ISO 22274:2013.Attention is drawn to the fact that during the development of this international Standard, the UK committee voted against its approval as an international Standard.The standard makes a valuable contribution to the

3、 development of classification theory in relation to terminology, however, in the opinion of the committee, instead of harmonizing the classification techniques used in terminology, product classification and other classification, too heavy reliance is placed on more commonly used methods of product

4、 classification, which are made possible only because of the nature of products. The committee is also of the opinion that the standard does not sufficiently explain variations in terminology from ISO 1087-1:2000 to classification generally, and hence to product classification. The UK participation

5、in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee TS/1, Terminology.A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract.

17、ards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards 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 orga

18、nizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also 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 i

19、n the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees 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 %

20、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 patent rights.

Th

22、e role of classification systems in our daily life can hardly be overestimated.Classification systems organize content in a systematic way. They are highly influenced by their respective domain-specific terminologies and can, in turn, have an effect on those domain-specific terminologies. Classifica

23、tion systems make domain knowledge accessible to a broad audience beyond the specialists who are directly involved in that domain. Terms are established and knowledge is systematized in classification systems.In many cases, classification systems are used to structure large collections of data suppo

24、rting functions such as data mining or information retrieval. Dictionaries, libraries or catalogues, as well as web pages or retrieval systems, are examples of data collections that may benefit from being structured by classification systems.Classification systems allow people to communicate about t

25、opics by providing sets of concepts that help to reduce the complexity of the topic to a level which is manageable for their users. These concepts allow us to direct the information flow within or between software applications, to communicate with experts from different domains or to communicate wit

26、h people of different backgrounds.If the classification system is to be used in more than one linguistic community, it needs to be localized to account for the languages, social conventions, and cultures of its users. To facilitate localization, the classification system needs to be designed so that

27、 it is clear, easy to use, and otherwise prepared to be localized.This International Standard provides advice on how to design classification systems and how to express their content so that they are adaptable to different linguistic environments. This International Standard complements existing doc

28、uments, e.g. ISO/IECGuide77,19ISO 13584,9IEC 61360,18ISO 22745,15and ISO/IEC 11179.7 ISO 2013 All rights reserved vBS ISO 22274:2013BS ISO 22274:2013Systems to manage terminology, knowledge and content Concept-related aspects for developing and internationalizing classification systems1 ScopeThis In

29、ternational Standard establishes basic principles and requirements for ensuring that classification systems are suitable for worldwide application, considering such aspects as cultural and linguistic diversity as well as market requirements. By applying principles relating to terminology work, this

30、International Standard provides guidelines for creating, handling, and using classification systems for international environments.This International Standard addresses the need in many domains for classification systems that are concept based to ensure that they are suitable for worldwide use and c

31、an be adapted to specific user communities. It provides information about the design, development, and use of classification systems that are fully enabled for diverse linguistic, cultural, and market-based environments.This International Standard primarily specifies the factors that need to be cons

32、idered when creating and populating a classification system for use in diverse linguistic environments. These factors include the specification of principles for incorporating internationalization aspects into classification systems, and maintaining and using those aspects for the structuring of act

33、ivities, products, services, agents, and other entities of a company or organization.The following are within the scope of this International Standard:a) guidelines on information content to support internationalization of classification systems and their underlying concept systems;b) terminological

34、 principles applicable to classification systems;c) requirements for internationalization of classification systems;d) considerations on workflow and administration of classification system content to support worldwide use.The following are outside the scope of this International Standard: providing

35、 formal data models for representing classification systems in machine-readable form; prescribing classification system content for specific business domains or products; harmonization of classification systems.This International Standard is intended for those who develop content for classification

36、systems. This includes terminologists and content managers who are called upon to apply the principles of terminology work to ensure that cultural and linguistic diversity are appropriately reflected in classification systems. It is also relevant for people who design and model appropriate IT tools.

37、NOTE Formal data models for implementation of classification systems in information technology environments can be obtained from technical committees such as ISO/TC 184 or IEC/TC 3.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 22274:2013(E) ISO 2013 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 22274:2013ISO 22274:2013(E)2 Normative re

46、EXAMPLE Figure 1 shows the interrelation of the items concept (3.7), feature (3.12), class (3.4), attribute (3.2), and property (3.25). The figure shows sections of a concept system (3.8) and a classification system (3.6). The class “Car” is derived from the concept “Motor vehicle” and the property

47、“Colour” implements the feature “Pigmentation”. The class “Car” has attributes such as “Preferred name” and “Definition”.
