13、ISO/IEC 5218:2004(E/F) vForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International
14、Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO
15、 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. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical commit
16、tee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the
17、 possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 5218 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 32, Data
18、 management and interchange. This first edition of ISO/IEC 5218 cancels and replaces ISO 5218:1977, of which it constitutes a technical revision.

Dautres organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec lISO et la CEI participent galement aux travaux. Dans le domaine des technologies de linformation, lISO
21、et la CEI ont cr un comit technique mixte, lISO/CEI JTC 1. Les Normes internationales sont rdiges conformment aux rgles donnes dans les Directives ISO/CEI, Partie 2. La tche principale du comit technique mixte est dlaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes internationales adopts par

25、 Technologies de linformation Codes de reprsentation des sexes humains 1 Scope 1 Domaine dapplication This International Standard specifies a uniform representation of human sexes for the interchange of information. It is intended to reduce the time required to record and/or format the representatio
26、n of sexes and transmit the corresponding data; improve clarity and accuracy of interchange; minimize the amount of human intervention required for communicating the representation of sexes; and reduce costs. La prsente Norme internationale spcifie une mthode de reprsentation uniforme des sexes huma
27、ins pour lchange dinformation. Elle a pour but de rduire le temps ncessaire pour enregistrer et/ou mettre en forme la reprsentation des sexes et transmettre les donnes qui y correspondent, accrotre la clart et la fiabilit des changes, diminuer la somme des interventions humaines ncessaires pour comm
28、uniquer la reprsentation des sexes, et rduire les cots. This International Standard does not prescribe file sequences, storage media, programming languages, or other features of information processing to be used in its implementation. La prsente Norme internationale ne prescrit pas lorganisation des
29、 fichiers, les supports de mise en mmoire, les langages de programmation ou autres caractristiques de traitement de linformation utiliser dans sa mise en uvre. This International Standard meets the requirements of most applications that need to code human sexes. It does not provide codes for sexes t
30、hat may be required in specific medical and scientific applications or in applications that need to code sex information other than for human beings. La prsente Norme internationale rpond aux exigences de la plupart des applications qui ncessitent la codification des sexes humains. Elle ne dtermine
31、pas de codes pour les sexes qui pourraient tre requis dans des applications spcifiquement mdicales ou scientifiques, ou dans des applications qui ncessiteraient une information code des sexes autres que ceux des tres humains. This International Standard does not supplant national standards for codin
32、g sexes that are designed based upon codes derived from names of sexes in the various languages (for example “M” for “male” and “F” for “female” in the English language). It provides a numeric code that is independent of language-derived codes and as such is intended to provide a common basis for th
33、e international exchange of information containing human sex data elements. La prsente Norme internationale ne se substitue pas aux normes nationales relatives la codification des sexes employs dans les diverses langues (par exemple M pour masculin et F pour fminin dans la langue franaise). Elle pro

This standard was developed based upon predominant practices of the countries involved and does not convey any meaning of importance, ra

40、es sexes humains supportant ladaptabilit culturelle (linguistique) A.1 Introduction A.1 Introduction At the time that ISO 5218 first became an International Standard in 1977, ISO/IEC JTC1 did not exist. This second edition is now identified as ISO/IEC 5218:2004 (E/F). In addition, in 1997, ISO/IEC J
41、TC1 adopted three strategic directions which its standards should support namely “portability”, “interoperability”, and “cultural adaptability”. The rise of the use of the Internet underscores the validity of the need for these three strategic directions to be supported for any International Standar
42、d which involves “human interface equivalents”. To provide an illustrative example for addressing these three strategic directions of ISO/IEC JTC1, Annex A has been added. LISO/CEI JTC1 nexistait pas en 1977 au moment de ladoption de lISO 5218. Cette deuxime dition sintitule dsormais ISO/IEC 5218:20
43、04 (E/F). De plus, depuis 1997, lISO/CEI JTC1 a adopt trois orientations stratgiques que ses normes devraient reconnatre: la portabilit, linteroprabilit et ladaptabilit culturelle. Lutilisation accrue de lInternet vient appuyer ces trois orientations stratgiques pour toutes les Normes internationale
44、s requrant des quivalents interface humaine. LAnnexe A a t ajoute pour illustrer et rpondre aux orientations stratgiques nonces par lISO/CEI JTC1. A.2 Purpose of Annex A A.2 But de lAnnexe A The purpose of Annex A is two-fold: LAnnexe A comporte deux buts: a) to provide a simple, easily understood e
45、xample of an application and implementation of the three strategic directions of ISO/IEC JTC1 and how they can interwork; a) offrir un exemple simple et comprhensible de lapplication et mise en place des orientations stratgiques de lISO/CEI JTC1 et de leurs interrelations; b) to provide an example o
46、f unique unambiguous referencing and identification of a semantic component both among heterogeneous IT systems, i.e., at the IT Interface, on the one hand, and on the other, that of the multiple possible human interface equivalents, be they of a linguistic, symbolic 1 , multimedia, etc., nature (in
47、cluding provision for human interface requirements for the disabled, such as Braille and Bliss, etc.). b) offrir un exemple didentification et de rfrence unique et sans ambigut dun composant smantique dans le cadre de systmes informatiques htrognes alliant, dune part, linterface informatique et, dau
48、tre part, les quivalents des diffrentes interfaces humaines quelles soient de nature linguistique, symbolique 1 , mdiatique ou autre (rpondant aussi aux besoins des interfaces humaines pour les personnes handicapes comme le braille, les symboles Bliss, etc.). 1For an example of symbolic representations of human sexes, see the ISO Bulletin, January 2000, page 3. 1Comme exemple de reprsentations symboliques des sexes humains, voir le Bulletin ISO de janvier 2000, page 3.
