National bodies that are members of ISO or IECparticipate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by therespective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.

Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, inliaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.The main task of technical c

40、ommittees is to prepare International Standards, but in exceptional circumstances atechnical committee may propose the publication of a Technical Report of one of the following types: type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard, despiterepeat

42、 publishedas an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example).Technical Reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publication, to decide whether theycan be transformed into International Standards. Technical Reports of type 3 do not necessarily have to bereviewe

46、computerprogramming languages. Each has dealt with its own language in isolation, although to some extent the draftingcommittees have become more expert by learning from both the successes and the mistakes of their predecessors.The first edition of this Technical Report was produced during the 1980s

47、 to put together some of the experiencethat had been gained to that time, in a set of guidelines, designed to ease the task of drafting committees ofprogramming language standards. Subsequent editions enhance the guidelines to take into account experiencesand developments in the area of internationa

48、lization and character sets, especially with the expanding repertoire ofISO/IEC 10646.This document is published as a Technical Report type 3 because the design of programming languages - andhence requirements relating to their standardization - is still evolving fairly rapidly, and because existing

49、 languages,both standardized and unstandardized, vary so greatly in their properties and styles that publication as a fullstandard, even as a standard set of guidelines, did not seem appropriate at this time.The need for guidelines: While each language, taken as a whole, is unique, there are many individual featuresthat are common to many, or even to most of them. While standardization should not inhibit such diversity as isessential, both in the languages and in the form of their standards, unnecessary diversity is better avoided.Unnece
