Foreword

ISO (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 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 the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

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. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents ).

Introduction

A number of international applications require the identification of written language conversion systems, including for terminology, lexicography, bibliography, and linguistics, especially for reverse transliteration, computational linguistics and machine pronunciation.

This document sets out the necessary procedures to maintain the registry of written language conversion systems.

The chosen term “written language conversion” is intended to refer to all types of conversions, i.e. transformations of written texts from one spelling system to another. It thus includes both script conversion (change of script: transliteration, transcription) and conversion of texts without changing the script (e.g. transcription of foreign names or words using the alphabet of a target language, change of the orthography in a language, etc.). For the sake of compactness of expression, “written language conversion” has been shortened to “conversion” in this document where it does not cause ambiguity.

1 Scope

This document provides principles for establishing codes for the representation of written language conversion systems.

The codes are devised for usage in any application requiring the expression of written language conversion systems, including transliteration and romanization systems, in coded form.
