ISO 6862:1996 情報とドキュメント—書誌情報交換のための数学的にコード化された文字セット | ページ 2

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.

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.

International Standard ISO 6862 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee SC 4, Computer applications in information and documentation.

Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

1 Scope

1.1 This International Standard specifies a set of 188 graphic characters with their coded representations. It consists of code tables and a legend showing each graphic together with its name or meaning. Explanatory notes are also included.

1.2 These characters, together with characters in the international reference version of ISO 646 (ISO escape sequence ESC 2/8 4/0), in the extension of the Latin alphabet coded character set for bibliographic information interchange [ISO 5426 ¹⁾ ] and in the Greek alphabet coded character set for bibliographic information interchange [ISO 5428 ²⁾ ] constitute a character set for the international exchange of bibliographic records including their annotations, incorporating symbols mainly from the following disciplines:

• Algebra
• Arithmetic
• Calculus
• Cybernetics
• Geometry
• Hyperbolic functions
• Logic
• Mechanics
• Probability studies
• Set theory
• Statistics
• Topology
• Trigonometry
• Vectors

1.3 This International Standard is concerned with the transmission of mathematical characters in bibliographic records, not with their use in source documents: the descriptions and comments in the legend are therefore neither prescriptive nor exhaustive. This means that there is no restriction against the use of a particular symbol in interchange of information in the form in which it appears in the data to be transmitted, even if its name or meaning as given in this International Standard does not cover its use in that particular context.

2 Normative references
