8、4 has been prepared under the direction of the Documentation Standards Committee and is identical with ISO6196-5:1987 “Micrographics Vocabulary Part05: Quality of images, legibility, inspection”, published by the International Organization for Standardization(ISO). Terminology and conventions. The t
9、ext of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as a BritishStandard without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in BritishStandards; attention is drawn especially to the following. Wherever the words “ISO6196”, “part
10、of ISO6196” or “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “BS6054” or “Part of BS6054” as appropriate. In BritishStandards it is current practice to use the spelling “thiosulphate” instead of “thiosulfate”. There is no BritishStandard corresponding to ISO R/1
11、087 but, as the reference is purely informative, it does not affect the validity of this BritishStandard. Additional information. This standard is the national implementation of ISO6196-5:1987; as such, only the English text has been reproduced. If the French text, Russian text and equivalent German
12、 terms are required, reference should be made to the original ISO publication. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself co
13、nfer immunity from legal obligations.

15、 rise to numerous international commercial exchanges which often become difficult, either because of the great variety of terms used in various fields or languages to express the same concept, or because of the lack or imprecision of definitions for useful concepts. To avoid misunderstandings due to
16、 this situation and to facilitate such exchanges, it is advisable to select terms to be used in various languages or countries to express the same concept and to establish definitions providing satisfactory equivalents for the various terms in different languages. ISO6196 consists of several parts p
17、ublished separately, as the work proceeds, their numbering beginning with01. 1.2 Scope and field of application This part of ISO6196 presents, in English, French and Russian, terms and definitions of selected concepts used in micrographics and identifies relationships between the entries. This part
18、of ISO6196 deals with terms related to the quality of images, legibility and inspection. It is intended to facilitate international exchanges in this field. NOTEIn addition to terms given in the three official ISO languages, this part of ISO6196 gives the equivalent terms in the German language in a
19、n annex; these have been included at the request of ISO Technical Committee TC171 and are published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany, F.R.(DIN). However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions. 2 Principles
20、 and rules followed 2.1 Definition of an entry The vocabulary consists of a number of entries. The term entry is to be understood to have the following meaning. entry a set of essential elements consisting of an index number, one or, if necessary, more synonymous terms, and a phrase defining one con
21、cept; in addition, a set may include examples, notes or illustrations to facilitate the understanding of the concept NOTETerms such as vocabulary, concept, term and definition are used in this part and in the body of this International Standard with the meanings given in ISO/R1087, Vocabulary of ter
22、minology. 2.2 Organization of an entry Each entry contains the essential elements as defined in2.1 and if necessary some additional items; thus it may contain for each language at most the following items in the following order: a) an index number(common for all languages); b) the term or the genera
23、lly preferred term in the language(the absence of a generally accepted term for the concept in the language is indicated by a row of dots); c) the preferred term in a particular country(identified according to ISO3166, Codes for the representation of names of countries); d) the abbreviation for the
24、term; e) permitted synonymous term or terms; f) the text of the definition(see2.4); g) one or more examples with the heading “Example(s)”; h) one or more notes specifying particular cases in the field of application of the concepts, with the heading “Note(s)”; i) a picture, a diagram or a table(thes
25、e may be common to several entries). Items a) to e) in the list above are printed in bold typeface. Item d) in the list above, and in some entries one or more of the items b), c) and e), is (are) in each case followed by a qualifier. A qualifier is printed in normal typeface in parentheses after the
26、 term or abbreviation and indicates: a directive for the use of the term, such as “deprecated term”, “deprecated in this sense” or “strongly deprecated”; a particular field of application for the term, as defined; the grammatical form of the term or the like, such as “noun”, “adjective”, “verb” or “
27、abbreviation”. 2.3 Classification of an entry A two-digit serial number is assigned to each part of this International Standard, beginning with01 for general terms. Each entry is assigned a four-digit serial number, the first two digits being those of the part. In any future revision or amendment of
28、 this International Standard, further entries will be added at the end of a part without altering the numbers of the existing entries. 2.4 Selection of terms and wording of definitions The selection of terms and the wording of definitions have, as far as possible, followed established usage.BSISO619
29、6-5:1987 2 BSI 03-2000 2.5 Multiple meanings When a given term has several different meanings, a separate entry is given for each meaning to facilitate translation into other languages. 2.6 Abbreviations As indicated in2.2, abbreviations in current use are given for some terms. They may be used only
30、 if this will not lead to any ambiguity or lack of clarity. They are not used in the texts of the definitions, examples or notes in this International Standard. 2.7 Use of parentheses In some terms, a word or words printed in bold typeface is(are) placed in parentheses. These words are part of the c
31、omplete term, but they may be omitted when use of the abridged term in a technical context does not introduce ambiguity. In the text of another definition, example or note in this International Standard, such a term is used only in its complete form. Directives for the use of the term, its particula
32、r field of application or its grammatical form are not part of the term and are printed in normal typeface. 2.8 Use of the terms printed in italic typeface in definitions and use of asterisks A term printed in italic typeface in a definition, an example or a note, has the meaning given to it in anot
33、her entry of this International Standard, which may be in another part. However, the term is only printed in italic typeface the first time that it occurs in each entry. Other grammatical forms of the term, for example plurals of nouns and participles of verbs, are printed in the same way as the bas
34、ic form. The basic forms of all such terms are listed in the index at the end of the part. When two such terms defined in separate entries directly follow each other(or are separated only by a punctuation sign), an asterisk separates the terms. The words or terms which are printed in normal typeface
35、 are to be understood as defined in current dictionaries or authoritative technical vocabularies in the language concerned. 2.9 Organization of the alphabetical index At the end of each part, an alphabetical index, foreach language used, includes all terms in thatlanguage defined in the part or used
36、 in thedefinitions and defined in other parts. Multiple-word terms appear in alphabetical order both by natural order of words and by their key words. 3 Terms and definitions 05.01 resolution 1) the ability of a photographic system(equipment, optics, sensitized material and processing) to record fin
