Bibliography

Gives a consolidated vocabulary of eBusiness concepts as found and defined in ISO/IEC 14662 and the existing parts of ISO/IEC 15944, namely, Parts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 along with their associated terms.

1.1 Statement of scope This part of ISO/IEC15944 provides a consolidated vocabulary of eBusiness concepts as found and defined in the current editions of ISO/IEC14662 and the existing parts of ISO/IEC15944, namely, Parts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 along with their associated terms. NOTE At the time of publication of this part of ISO/IEC15944, Parts 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 have been published, the development of Part3 has been cancelled and Part8 is under preparation. This part of ISO/IEC15944 provides the rules, guidelines and procedures governing the formation of definitions for concepts relevant to eBusiness and choice of terms as a single, harmonized and integrated controlled vocabulary. This includes those governing multilingual expandability which incorporates and integrates cultural capability. As such, this part of ISO/IEC15944 facilitates the production of human interface equivalents (HIEs) of eBusiness terms and definitions in the various official (and de facto) languages of ISO members in the form of additional annexes to this part of ISO/IEC15944. This part of ISO/IEC15944 identifies the essential elements of an entry in this controlled vocabulary as well as their rules and specifications. It also includes rules for ensuring quality and integrity control requirement for each entry and the interworking among the entries while doing so in an IT-enabled manner. It also addresses maintenance and update procedures. 1.2 Exclusions This part of ISO/IEC15944 is built on ISO/IEC14662 and the existing Parts 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 of ISO/IEC15944. The exclusions which apply to one or more of these International Standards apply to this part of ISO/IEC15944. 1.3 Aspects not currently addressed This part of ISO/IEC15944 does not currently support the following requirements (in no particular order): the more detailed level of rules (and possible more detailed level of granularity) for the essential elements of “eBusiness vocabulary” entry, as currently specified in 5.3; the more detailed level of rules for change management of the eBusiness vocabulary. It is most likely that these will be addressed in the second edition (and will be based on or harmonized with the rules in ISO/IEC15944-2:2006, 6.5, “Registration Status”); the inclusion of added non-essential, i.e. conditional or optional, elements for a controlled vocabulary entry; the addition of eBusiness concepts with their definitions and associated terms which are not found in ISO/IEC14662 or any part of ISO/IEC15944; the ability to be able to fully support the set of external constraints of jurisdictional documents pertaining to individual accessibility requirements14; the provision of Human Interface Equivalents (HIEs) of jurisdictional domains which are administrative sub-divisions of a UN member state15; the identification of and rules for “non-essential” or optional elements of an entry in the controlled vocabulary; the incorporation of individual accessibility requirements, (e.g. as summarized in the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled Persons); the establishment of a Registration Authority; and the development of a “template” of the nature found in the other parts of ISO/IEC15944. It is anticipated that some or all of these requirements will be addressed in future editions of this part of ISO/IEC15944, in companion International Standards or Technical Reports. 1.4 IT systems environment neutrality This part of ISO/IEC15944 does not assume nor endorse any specific system environment, database management system, database design paradigm, system development methodology, data definition language, command language, system interface, user interface, syntax, computing platform, or any technology required for implementation, i.e. it is information technology neutral. At the same time, this part of ISO/IEC15944 maximizes an IT-enabled approach to its implementation and maximizes semantic interoperability.
