15、(the International Organization for 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 comm
16、ittee has been established has the 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 electrote
17、chnical standardization. International 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 memb
18、er bodies for voting. Publication 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 identifyi
19、ng any or all such patent rights. ISO 29383 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 37, Terminology and other language and content resources, Subcommittee SC 1, Principles and methods. This International Standard is based in parts on the recommendations given in the document Guidelines for Termin
20、ology Policies: formulating and implementing terminology policy in language communities, published by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2005. BS ISO 29383:2010ISO 29383:2010(E) ISO 2010 All rights reserved vIntroduction This International Standard is de
21、signed for policy makers working in different environments, from language planning to for-profit companies. The requirements concerning the development and implementation of a terminology policy can differ tremendously in these environments as well as from case to case. No two situations are exactly
22、 alike and, even in a seemingly homogenous context, each terminology policy is necessarily individual and custom-made. This International Standard therefore aims to provide guidance on general principles for the design of an individual policy to be tailored to a specific set of circumstances. It doe
23、s so by recommending a variety of actions that have proven to be helpful in different situations. Some of these recommendations will be essential in any policy environment, while others may not be relevant. Terminology policies can take very different forms, depending on the context. In a national c
24、ontext, a terminology policy can take the form of a legal document or, at least, part of such, for instance of a language, education or information policy. Similarly, the terminology policy within a large non-governmental or intergovernmental organization may be complex since it has to address a ver
25、y complex and political situation and various levels of interoperability (cultural, political, semantic, ). In private corporations and smaller organizations, a terminology policy usually takes the form of guidelines or references for terminology management, workflow and the use of technology to sup
26、port it; it is usually presented in a short document, often not even referring to terminology as such. Distinctions between these vary and what is imperative in one company, community or organization, may be irrelevant in another. Due to the ever-increasing interlinking of public and private endeavo
27、urs, the high degree of diversity of organizational or institutional organizations, and rapidly changing environments, it is helpful to have all aspects included in one standard.

28、cies Development and implementation 1 Scope This International Standard provides policy makers in governments, administration, non-profit and commercial organizations with guidelines and a methodology for the development and implementation of a comprehensive policy or strategy concerning the plannin
29、g and management of terminology. This International Standard defines key concepts and describes scenarios and environments which may require different kinds of terminology policies. It also places terminology policies in the broader context of institutional strategic frameworks. 2 Normative referenc

On the one hand, terminology planning is an integral part of most langua
44、ge planning. On the other hand, it can be an activity of an individual organization for internal strategic ends and not necessarily related to language planning at all. In most cases, terminology planning both informs and is informed in turn by existing language planning. The degree of the interdepe
45、ndency between terminology planning and language planning varies according to the specific circumstances of the language community. 4.2 Language planning Language planning consists of the conscious efforts made by a government, agency or other entity in order to affect strategically and positively t
46、he structure or function of a language or languages through politically-informed forward-looking management of languages and their use both in regard to language status determination and language development. It comprises of a mixture of methods and approaches, including: the determination of the st
47、atus of a language in a society at large, in a certain domain or context (status planning); the linguistic codification of a language in order to establish a linguistic norm, the development of language resources (including text corpora, speech corpora, lexicographical data and, to some extent, term
48、inological information), the development or recording of literary traditions and sources (corpus planning); the development of a language education policy (acquisition planning); translation strategies, etc. The major focus of language planning, therefore, is the conscious development of a language
49、to improve communication in a language community or society at large, or to strengthen the status of the language of a linguistic community existing within a larger community. 4.3 Terminology planning Terminology planning results in the development of resources to support the representation of domain knowledge (concepts) and the use of such representation to ensure successful and unhindered communication within and across domains, including: terminology generation; terminology use, documentation, recording and process
