Description / Abstract:
This standard contains concepts used in the information
processing field. It also includes the specifications for the body
of this vocabulary. and the rules for preparing entries. In
general. concepts or terms found in an everyday nontechnical
vocabulary are not included. Also. concepts and terms that are: 1)
from specialized areas of information processing. 2) still in
development. and 3) of a parochial nature. are not necessarily
incorporated in this standard. Inevitably. the rapid growth of the
field of information processing precludes this standard from being
exhaustive and final.
Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to
present an organized body of concepts and their corresponding terms
relevant to the field of information processing. and to identify
relationships among the concepts and among terms.
