The work of preparing International Standards is norm
20、ally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee 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 t
21、he work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of ISO technical committees is to prepa
22、re International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member 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 som

The main task of the OSCAR Special Interest Group is to develop standards to facilitate and automate the globalization of products and services in a way that supports local language and culture conventions.

29、2:2008ISO 30042:2008(E)IntroductionThis International Standard defines an XML-based framework for representing structured terminological data referred to as TermBase eXchange (TBX). Within this framework, a variety of terminological markup languages (TMLs) can be defined. A TML defined by TBX can fa
30、cilitate the interchange of terminological data between users, which include people such as translators and writers, and applications and systems, such as Computer Assisted Translation tools and controlled authoring software. Therefore, it can be used for both human-oriented and machine-oriented ter
31、minological data. In this manner, it can enable the flow of terminological information throughout the information production cycle, both inside an organization and with outside service providers.The intended audience for this document consists of two groups: (1) programmers and analysts who wish to
32、develop software applications that process TBX-compliant data files; (2) terminologists and other language specialists who wish to analyse a terminological data collection for representation in TBX or to understand a TBX file.This version of TBX is an update of a version that was published by the Lo
33、calization Industry Standards Association (LISA) in 2002. Among other enhancements, the current version provides reference to an integrated schema that includes the core-structure module and the data-category constraints in combined declarations using the Relax NG and Schematron languages. It also p
34、rovides reference to a TBX-compliant TML called TBX-Basic.Users of this International Standard should first study the body (clauses 1-12). The suggested use of annexes A-I is described below.(1) The core-structure module of TBXAll TMLs within the TBX framework have the same core structure. The core-
35、structure module is described in Clause 8. A DTD for the core-structure module is found in Annex A. The elements, attributes, and data types are described in Annex D, and listed alphabetically in Annex I.(2) The XCS moduleTMLs may differ with respect to which data-categories are allowed, and at what
36、 levels of a terminological entry these data-categories can occur. These constraints on the core structure, which define a particular TML, are formally represented in an XCS file. A DTD for the XCS module is found in Annex B. The elements and attributes are described in Annex E, and listed alphabeti
37、cally in Annex I.(3) The default XCS of TBXThe TBX-default TML is constrained by the default XCS file. The TBX default XCS is described in Clause 9. The default XCS file is provided in Annex C. The data-categories are described in Annex D, and listed alphabetically in Annex I.(4) Compliance checking
38、 of TBX document instancesOnce a TBX TML has been defined by an XCS, a TBX document instance can be checked for compliance with that TML. The requirements for compliance are found in Clause 7. One can use a variety of methods and schema definition languages to check compliance. In particular, the Re
39、lax NG schema referred to in Annex F can be used to check whether a TBX document instance is compliant with the TBX-default TML. Annex F also indicates where a TBX user can find additional resources for compliance checking. Another TBX TML, called TBX-Basic, is referred to in Annex G.(5) Changes tha
40、t have been made to TBX since its submission to ISO in February 2007 are summarized in Annex H.Summary of annexes:A: DTD for core-structure moduleB: DTD for XCS moduleC: Default XCS that defines the TBX-default TMLD: Descriptions of core structure elements and attributesD.5: Descriptions of default

42、nage terminology, knowledge, and content - TermBase eXchange (TBX)1 ScopeThe TBX framework defined by this International Standard is designed to support various types of processes involving terminological data, including analysis, descriptive representation, dissemination, and interchange (exchange)
43、, in various computer environments. The primary purpose of TBX is for interchange of terminological data. It is limited in its ability to represent presentational markup. Intended application areas include translation and authoring.TBX is modular in order to support the varying types of terminologic
44、al data, or data-categories, that are included in different terminological databases (termbases). TBX includes two modules: a core structure, and a formalism for identifying a set of data-categories and their constraints, both expressed in XML. The term TBX, when used alone, refers to the framework
45、consisting of these two interacting modules.To maximize interoperability of the actual terminological data, TBX also provides a default set of data-categories that are commonly used in terminological databases. However, subsets or supersets of the default set of data-categories can be used within th
46、e TBX framework to support specific user requirements.TBX, when used with its default set of data-categories, qualifies as a terminological markup language (TML) as defined in ISO 16642, which will be referred to as the TBX-default TML in this International Standard. Likewise, other markup languages
47、 that comply with TBX and use a subset of the default set of data-categories are also TMLs, but may go by other names, such as the one referred to in Annex G (Informative) TBX-Basic.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
