15、for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees colla
16、borate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison 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 procedures used to d
17、evelop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/I

24、T) products to facilitate interaction with their users. Icons can provide a language-independent means of communicating information to the user.This part of ISO/IEC 11581 provides a data structure to be used by the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 icon database that is being managed by ISO/IEC 11581-40. This dat
25、a structure is based on the framework provided in ISO/IEC 11581-10. ISO/IEC 2014 All rights reserved vInformation technology User interface icons Part 41: Data structure to be used by the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 icon database1 ScopeThis part of ISO/IEC 11581 provides guidance for developers and designer
26、s creating and/or using icons and provides a basis for the standardization of icons. It also provides a framework for creating future International Standards dealing with icons as parts of the ISO/IEC 11581 series and for identifying icon-related information to be used in any accompanying icon regis
27、tries. It is intended to be used with ISO/IEC 11581-40 to create a registry of icons.This part of ISO/IEC 11581 recognizes that icons are more than just symbols used on computer screens. Icons are interaction objects used by computer interfaces to accomplish various purposes. Icons can be rendered i
28、n various forms, including graphics, audio, tactile/haptic, or any combination thereof. This versatility in rendition can provide greater accessibility to their underlying functionalities.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document

32、 variation on basic entity-relationship diagramming conventions. Specifically, it uses the following conventions: tables are indicated by boxes, with a top, middle, and bottom section; table names are contained within double brackets (e.g. ) and are located in the top section of a box; names of prim
33、ary key attributes are contained within the middle section of a table box, and foreign key constraints are indicated below the primary key attribute name, as indicated by “ (FK: file name of where the foreign key applies); names of non-key attributes are contained in the bottom section of a table bo
34、x; relationships are indicated as lines connecting table boxes, with information on the intended multiplicity or the relationship (of a complete entry for a give icon) at either end of the line.NOTE Multiplicity is discussed in 4.3.2 ISO/IEC 2014 All rights reservedISO/IEC TS 11581-41:2014(E)4.2 Rec
