21、or Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards 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 th
22、e right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, 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. Internat
23、ional Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in 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
24、 as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % 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. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
25、 ISO 26162 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 37, Terminology and other language and content resources, Subcommittee SC 3, Systems to manage terminology, knowledge and content. BS ISO 26162:2012ISO 26162:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved viiIntroduction Terminological data are collected,
26、managed and stored in a wide variety of terminology management systems (TMSs). TMSs employ a variety of database management systems, ranging from personal computer applications for individual users to client server applications or Web-based applications operated by major companies and governmental a
27、gencies. Terminological data collections (TDCs) are based on various kinds of data models and consist of different sets of data categories (Data Category Selections, DCSs). To facilitate co-operation and to prevent duplication of work, it is important to develop standards and guidelines for creating
28、 and using TDCs as well as for sharing and exchanging data. ISO/TC 37 has published the following standards in order to facilitate the exchange of terminological data and to create an integrated approach to be used in analysing an existing TDC and in designing new ones: ISO 704, ISO 12620, ISO 16642
29、. Having some acquaintance with these documents before reading this International Standard would be beneficial. This International Standard gives guidance on choosing the relevant data categories, as well as designing and implementing a data model and a user interface for a TMS, taking into account
30、the intended user group. The guidelines described in this International Standard are indispensable for the successful development of a TMS and for avoiding costly errors. This International Standard may be used for choosing the appropriate TMS for a certain purpose. BS ISO 26162:2012BS ISO 26162:201
31、2INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 26162:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 1Systems to manage terminology, knowledge and content Design, implementation and maintenance of terminology management systems 1 Scope This International Standard specifies criteria for designing, implementing and maintaining ter
32、minology management systems (TMSs). This International Standard provides information about the rationale for using a TMS, types of users and users needs, steps in designing and implementing a TMS, as well as the tasks of organizing and managing a terminological data collection (TDC). It also provide
33、s guidelines for selecting and using data categories for managing terminology in various environments. This International Standard is intended for terminologists, software developers and others who are involved in the process of developing or acquiring a TMS. 2 Normative references The following ref
34、erenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

BS ISO
37、26162:2012ISO 26162:2012(E) 2 ISO 2012 All rights reserved3.1.2 terminology management system TMS software tool specifically designed for collecting, maintaining, and accessing terminological data 3.1.3 terminological database TDB termbase database comprising a terminological resource (3.1.1) 3.1.4
38、terminological entry TE part of a terminological resource (3.1.1) that contains the terminological data related to one concept NOTE Adapted from ISO 1087-2, 2.22. The abbreviated term has been added. 3.1.5 concept orientation principle applied to terminology management whereby a terminological entry
39、 (3.1.4) describes one and only one concept or two or more quasi-equivalent concepts (3.1.7) NOTE A concept-oriented entry can contain multiple terms, which are therefore considered semantically equivalent. 3.1.6 equivalent concept concept in one language that comprises the same characteristics as t
40、hat covered by a given concept in another language 3.1.7 quasi-equivalent concept nearly equivalent concept concept in one language that shares most but not all characteristics with a concept in another language, but that is nevertheless used as an equivalent for that concept in some contexts 3.1.8
41、entailed term term used in a text field such as the /definition/ or /context/ that designates a concept that is defined in another terminological entry (3.1.4) in the same terminological resource (3.1.1) 3.1.9 doublette terminological entry (3.1.4) that describes the same concept as another entry NO
42、TE Doublettes are normally detected by TMS by identifying two terms having the same form; however, doublettes are determined based on identical concepts, not on identical terms. Doublettes should not be confused with homographs. 3.1.10 concept system set of concepts structured according to the relat
43、ionships among them ISO 1087-1:2000, 3.2.11 3.1.11 concept diagram graphic representation of a concept system (3.1.10) ISO 1087-1:2000, 3.2.12 BS ISO 26162:2012ISO 26162:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 33.1.12 legacy data terminological data that are available in an existing file or database, a
44、nd that are considered for importation into a TMS (3.1.2) NOTE Legacy data may be in the form of previously used databases, word-processing files, comma-delimited text files, SGML, HTML, or XML files, and the like. Conversion of such data to a format that will be compatible with a new TMS can pose s
45、erious challenges. 3.1.13 term word, or several words, that denote a concept EXAMPLES “Olympics” and “special Olympics” are two terms in the field of sports. NOTE 1 When the word or words can denote more than one concept, each word/concept pair is a separate term. For example, “port” (shelter for bo
46、ats) and “port” (computer connection point) are two different terms. NOTE 2 In terminology theory, terms denote concepts in specific subject fields, and words from the general lexicon are not considered to be terms. In a TDC, however, words from the general lexicon are sometimes recorded in terminol
47、ogical entries, where they are still referred to as “terms”. 3.2 Data categories 3.2.1 data category result of the specification of a data field ISO 1087-2:2000, 6.14 3.2.2 data element unit of data that, in a certain context, is considered indivisible ISO 1087-2:2000, 6.11 3.2.3 data granularity de
48、gree of precision of data NOTE For example, the set of individual data categories (3.2.1) /part of speech/, /grammatical gender/, and /grammatical number/ provides for greater data granularity than does the single data category /grammar/. 3.2.4 data elementarity principle whereby a single data field
49、 shall contain only one item of information NOTE For example, including both a full form and an abbreviation in the same field would be a violation of the principle of data elementarity. 3.2.5 term autonomy principle whereby all terms in a terminological entry (3.1.4) can be described by using the same set of data categories (3.2.1) 3.2.6 Data Category Registry DCR set of standardized data categories (3.2.1) to be used as a reference for the definition of linguistic annotation schemes or any other formats in the domain of
