1.1 範囲

ISO 6196 のこの部分は、顕微鏡写真における国際的なコミュニケーションを促進することを目的としています。情報処理の分野に関連する選択された概念の用語と定義を 2 つの言語で提示し、エントリ間の関係を識別します。

他の言語への翻訳を容易にするために、言語に付随する特殊性を可能な限り回避するように定義が起草されています。

Section 1 General

1.2 Normative references

The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO 6196. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 6196 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

1.3 Principles and rules followed

1.3.1 Definition of an entry

Section 2 comprises a number of entries. Each entry consists of a set of essential elements that includes an index number, one term or several synonymous terms, and a phrase defining one concept. In addition, an entry may include examples, notes or illustrations to facilitate understanding of the concept.

Occasionally, the same term may be defined in different entries, or two or more concepts may be covered by one entry, as described in 1.3.5 and 1.3.8 respectively.

The presentation rules laid down in ISO 10241 are followed in ISO 6196.

Other terms such as vocabulary, concept, term and definition are used in this part of ISO 6196 with the meaning defined in ISO 1087.

1.3.2 Organization of an entry

Each entry contains the essential elements defined in 1.3.1 and, if necessary, additional elements. The entry may contain the following elements in the following order:

• a) an index number (common for all languages in which this part of ISO 6196 is published);
• b) the term or the generally preferred term in the language. The absence of a generally accepted term for the concept in the language is indicated by a symbol consisting of five points (.....); a row of dots may be used to indicate, in a term, a word to be chosen in each particular case;
• c) the preferred term in a particular country (identified according to the rules of ISO 3166);
• d) the abbreviation for the term;
• e) permitted synonymous term(s);
• f) the text of the definition (see 1.3.4);
• g) one or more examples with the heading"EXAMPLE(S)";
• h) one or more notes specifying particular cases in the field of application of the concepts, with the heading"NOTE(S)";
• i) a picture, a diagram, or a table which could be common to several entries.

1.3.3 Classification of entries

A two-digit serial number is assigned to each part of ISO 6196, beginning with 01 for the part entitled "general terms".

In certain cases, the entries are classified in groups to each of which is assigned a four-digit serial number; the first two digits being those of the part of ISO 6196.

In certain cases, each entry is assigned a six-digit index number; the first four digits being those of the part of ISO 6196 and the group.

In order that versions of ISO 6196 in various languages are related, the numbers assigned to parts, groups and entries are the same for all languages.

1.3.4 Selection of terms and wording of definitions

The selection of terms and the wording of definitions have, as far as possible, followed established usage. When there were contradictions, solutions agreeable to the majority have been sought.

1.3.5 Multiple meanings

When, in one of the working languages, a given term has several meanings, each meaning is given a separate entry in order to facilitate translation into other languages.

1.3.6 Abbreviations

As indicated in 1.3.2, abbreviations in current use are given for some terms. Such abbreviations are not used in the texts of the definitions, examples or notes.

1.3.7 Use of parentheses

In some terms, a word or words printed in bold typeface are placed between parentheses. These words are part of the complete term, but they may be omitted when use of the abridged term in a technical context does not introduce ambiguity. In the text of another definition, example, or note of ISO 6196, such a term is used only in its complete form.

In some entries, the terms are followed by words in parentheses in normal typeface. These words are not a part of the term but indicate directives for the use of the term, its particular field of application, or its grammatical form.

1.3.8 Use of brackets

When several closely related terms can be defined by texts that differ only in a few words, the terms and their definitions are grouped in a single entry. The words to be substituted in order to obtain the different meanings are placed in brackets, i.e. [ ], in the same order in the term and in the definition. In order to avoid uncertainty regarding the words to be substituted, the last word that according to the above rule could be placed in front of the opening bracket is, wherever possible, placed inside the bracket and repeated for each alternative.

1.3.9 Use of terms printed in bold typeface in definitions and the use of an asterisk

A term printed in bold typeface in a definition, an example, or a note is defined in another entry in ISO 6196, which may be in another part. However, the term is printed in bold typeface only the first time it occurs in each entry.

Bold typeface is also used for other grammatical forms of a term, for example, plurals of nouns and participles of verbs.

The basic forms of all terms printed in bold typeface which are defined in this part of ISO 6196 are listed in the index at the end of the part (see 1.3.11).

An asterisk is used to separate terms printed in bold typeface when two such terms are referred to in separate entries and directly follow each other (or are separated only by a punctuation mark).

Words or terms that are printed in normal typeface are to be understood as defined in current dictionaries or authoritative technical vocabularies.

1.3.10 Spelling

In the English language version of this part of ISO 6196, terms, definitions, examples, and notes are given in the spelling preferred in the USA. Other correct spellings may be used without violating this part of ISO 6196.

1.3.11 Organization of the alphabetical index

For each language used, an alphabetical index is provided at the end of each part. The index includes all terms defined in the part. Multiple-word terms appear in alphabetical order under each of their key words.
