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 690-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee SC 9,
Presentation, identification and description of documents.
ISO 690 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information
and documentation — Bibliographic references:
— ISO 690: Documentation — Bibliographic references — Content, form
and structure
NOTE — ISO 690 will be revised as ISO 690-1.
— Part 2: Electronic documents or parts thereof
Annex A of this part of ISO 690 is for information only.

ISO ISO 690-2:1997(E)
Introduction
An increasing number of publications and other documents are appearing
in electronic form and are created, maintained, and disseminated on a
computer system. An electronic document may be fixed and unchange-
able, or it may take advantage of its computer environment to allow
modifications in both form and content. An electronic document may or
may not have a paper or other form of equivalent. In spite of the complexity
of these documents, scholars, researchers, and others need to create
references to these electronic resources in order to document their
research. This part of ISO 690 provides guidance on the creation of those
bibliographic references.
Although an electronic document may stylistically resemble a print
publication (such as a monograph, a serial, or an article or chapter), the
physical characteristics inherent in printed publications may not appear in
the electronic form. For instance, the existence of volumes, issues, and
pages is essential to print formats, but not to electronic ones. A growing
amount of scholarly communication through large telecommunications
networks seems to fall somewhere between published articles and
personal correspondence. Features that allow a user to move at will from
one point in an electronic document to another point, or even to another
document, add a complication not found in the traditional linear nature of
print formats.
Although a correspondence may be made between some print publications
and some electronic documents, electronic documents have their own
identity as computer programs, databases, files, or records which exist in a
machine-readable format, such as online, on CD-ROM, on magnetic tape,
on disk, or on another electronic storage medium. Bibliographic references
to these electronic documents must reflect that identity, not one of paper
surrogates.
New formats and technologies for electronic documents will continue to
develop. As such developments evolve into widespread international
usage, this part of ISO 690 will be amended, where necessary, to
accommodate new forms and features of electronic documents.

Information and documentation — Bibliographic references —
Part 2:
Electronic documents or parts thereof
1 Scope
This part of ISO 690 specifies the elements to be included in bibliographic references to electronic documents. It
sets out a prescribed order for the elements of the reference and establishes conventions for the transcription and
presentation of information derived from the source electronic document.
This part of ISO 690 is intended for use by authors and editors in the compilation of references to electronic
documents for inclusion in a bibliography, and in the formulation of citations within the text corresponding to the
entries in that bibliography. It does not apply to full bibliographic descriptions as required by librarians, descriptive
and analytic bibliographers, indexers, etc.
2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of
ISO 690. 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 690 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.
ISO 4:1984, Documentation -- Rules for the abbreviation of title words and titles of publications.
ISO 639:1988, Code for the representation of names of languages.
ISO 690:1987, Documentation -- Bibliographic references -- Content, form and structure.
ISO 832:1994, Information and documentation -- Bibliographic description and references -- Rules for the
abbreviation of bibliographic terms.

For the purposes of this part of ISO 690, the following definitions apply.
3.1 author: Person or corporate body responsible for the intellectual or artistic content of a document.
[ISO 690:1987]

3.5 database: Collection of data objects stored together, in electronic form, according to one schema and
made accessible by computer.
NOTE - Some databases, or files within a database, may also constitute a monograph or serial publication. In cases
where it can be readily determined that a specific electronic document is a monograph or serial, those terms should
normally be preferred over the broader term "database".
(French term: base de données)
3.6 discussion list: Discussion group on a given topic or topics that takes place over a computer network
among subscribers to an electronic mailing list and in which the contributions from individual participants
are sent automatically as electronic messages to the entire list of subscribers.
(French term: forum de discussion)
3.7 document: Recorded information which can be treated as a unit in a documentation process regardless of
its physical form and characteristics. [Adapted from ISO 5127/1:1983]

3.9 electronic document: Document existing in an electronic form to be accessed by computer technology.
(French term: document électronique)
3.10 electronic message system: System that transmits messages in electronic form over a communications
network of computers.
(French term: système de communication électronique)
3.11 file: Organized collection of data, usually comprising related records.
(French term: fichier)
3.12 host document: Document containing contributions or separately identifiable component parts that are not

ISO ISO 690-2:1997(E)
3.16 serial: Publication, in any medium, issued in successive parts, usually having numeric or chronological
designations, and intended to be continued indefinitely. [Adapted from ISO 3297:1986]
(French term: publication en série)
Word or phrase, usually appearing on the document, by which it is convenient to refer to it, which may
3.17 title:
be used to identify it, and which often (though not invariably) distinguishes it from any other document.
[ISO 690:1987]
(French term: titre)
3.18 version: Form of a document which has been modified without changing the identity of the document (see
also: edition).
(French term: version)
4 Sources of information
The principal source of data contained in a reference is the item itself. The elements of the reference come from the
electronic document itself or from accompanying documentation; in no case shall the reference require information
that is not available from the source consulted.
The data recorded in the reference shall refer to the specific copy of the document that was seen or used. For
example, the data in a bibliographic reference to a document on the Internet shall reflect the title, dates, location
information, etc. for the particular version that was seen and the particular network location from which that version
was accessed.
The preferred source of data within the item is the screen that displays the title or its equivalent (e.g., the initial
screen display that follows sign-on or that carries the copyright notice). If the electronic document lacks such a
screen, the necessary data may be taken from an alternative source, such as accompanying documentation or the
container.
5 Outline of bibliographic references
The outlines that follow are designed to identify the constituent elements of bibliographic references to electronic
documents and to establish a standard order or sequence for the presentation of those elements. The outlines
cover references to databases, computer programs, electronic monographs, serials, bulletin boards and other
electronic message systems, and parts of or contributions thereto. The same general framework applies to all these
documents but those that have characteristics which are peculiar to their form of publication are dealt with in
separate sections.
Required and optional bibliographic elements are indicated as such in parentheses following the name of the
element.
Elements are required only if they are applicable to the item being cited and the information is readily
available from the document itself or its accompanying material. It is recommended that elements listed as
optional should also be included in the reference if the information is readily available.
Specifications relating to each of the elements listed in these outlines are given in clause 7.

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 690-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee SC 9,
Presentation, identification and description of documents.
ISO 690 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information
and documentation — Bibliographic references:
— ISO 690: Documentation — Bibliographic references — Content, form
and structure
NOTE — ISO 690 will be revised as ISO 690-1.
— Part 2: Electronic documents or parts thereof
Annex A of this part of ISO 690 is for information only.

Introduction
An increasing number of publications and other documents are appearing
in electronic form and are created, maintained, and disseminated on a
computer system. An electronic document may be fixed and unchange-
able, or it may take advantage of its computer environment to allow
modifications in both form and content. An electronic document may or
may not have a paper or other form of equivalent. In spite of the complexity
of these documents, scholars, researchers, and others need to create
references to these electronic resources in order to document their
research. This part of ISO 690 provides guidance on the creation of those
bibliographic references.
Although an electronic document may stylistically resemble a print
publication (such as a monograph, a serial, or an article or chapter), the
physical characteristics inherent in printed publications may not appear in
the electronic form. For instance, the existence of volumes, issues, and
pages is essential to print formats, but not to electronic ones. A growing
amount of scholarly communication through large telecommunications
networks seems to fall somewhere between published articles and
personal correspondence. Features that allow a user to move at will from
one point in an electronic document to another point, or even to another
document, add a complication not found in the traditional linear nature of
print formats.
Although a correspondence may be made between some print publications
and some electronic documents, electronic documents have their own
identity as computer programs, databases, files, or records which exist in a
machine-readable format, such as online, on CD-ROM, on magnetic tape,
on disk, or on another electronic storage medium. Bibliographic references
to these electronic documents must reflect that identity, not one of paper
surrogates.
New formats and technologies for electronic documents will continue to
develop. As such developments evolve into widespread international
usage, this part of ISO 690 will be amended, where necessary, to
accommodate new forms and features of electronic documents.

Information and documentation — Bibliographic references —
Part 2:
Electronic documents or parts thereof
1 Scope
This part of ISO 690 specifies the elements to be included in bibliographic references to electronic documents. It
sets out a prescribed order for the elements of the reference and establishes conventions for the transcription and
presentation of information derived from the source electronic document.
This part of ISO 690 is intended for use by authors and editors in the compilation of references to electronic
documents for inclusion in a bibliography, and in the formulation of citations within the text corresponding to the
entries in that bibliography. It does not apply to full bibliographic descriptions as required by librarians, descriptive
and analytic bibliographers, indexers, etc.
2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of
ISO 690. 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 690 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.
ISO 4:1984, Documentation -- Rules for the abbreviation of title words and titles of publications.
ISO 639:1988, Code for the representation of names of languages.
ISO 690:1987, Documentation -- Bibliographic references -- Content, form and structure.
ISO 832:1994, Information and documentation -- Bibliographic description and references -- Rules for the
abbreviation of bibliographic terms.

where it can be readily determined that a specific electronic document is a monograph or serial, those terms should
normally be preferred over the broader term "database".
(French term: base de données)
3.6 discussion list: Discussion group on a given topic or topics that takes place over a computer network
among subscribers to an electronic mailing list and in which the contributions from individual participants
are sent automatically as electronic messages to the entire list of subscribers.

ISO ISO 690-2:1997(E)
3.16 serial: Publication, in any medium, issued in successive parts, usually having numeric or chronological
designations, and intended to be continued indefinitely. [Adapted from ISO 3297:1986]
(French term: publication en série)
Word or phrase, usually appearing on the document, by which it is convenient to refer to it, which may
3.17 title:
be used to identify it, and which often (though not invariably) distinguishes it from any other document.

(French term: titre)
3.18 version: Form of a document which has been modified without changing the identity of the document (see
also: edition).
(French term: version)
4 Sources of information
The principal source of data contained in a reference is the item itself. The elements of the reference come from the
electronic document itself or from accompanying documentation; in no case shall the reference require information
that is not available from the source consulted.
The data recorded in the reference shall refer to the specific copy of the document that was seen or used. For
example, the data in a bibliographic reference to a document on the Internet shall reflect the title, dates, location
information, etc. for the particular version that was seen and the particular network location from which that version
was accessed.
The preferred source of data within the item is the screen that displays the title or its equivalent (e.g., the initial
screen display that follows sign-on or that carries the copyright notice). If the electronic document lacks such a
screen, the necessary data may be taken from an alternative source, such as accompanying documentation or the
container.
5 Outline of bibliographic references
The outlines that follow are designed to identify the constituent elements of bibliographic references to electronic
documents and to establish a standard order or sequence for the presentation of those elements. The outlines
cover references to databases, computer programs, electronic monographs, serials, bulletin boards and other
electronic message systems, and parts of or contributions thereto. The same general framework applies to all these
documents but those that have characteristics which are peculiar to their form of publication are dealt with in
separate sections.
Required and optional bibliographic elements are indicated as such in parentheses following the name of the
element.
Elements are required only if they are applicable to the item being cited and the information is readily
available from the document itself or its accompanying material. It is recommended that elements listed as
optional should also be included in the reference if the information is readily available.
Specifications relating to each of the elements listed in these outlines are given in clause 7.

ISO ISO 690-2:1997(F)
Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération
mondiale d'organismes nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de
l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée aux
comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une
étude a le droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les
organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales,
en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore
étroitement avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en
ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les projets de Normes internationales adoptés par les comités techniques
sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur publication comme
Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des
comités membres votants.
La Norme internationale ISO 690-2 a été élaborée par le comité technique
ISO/TC 46, Information et documentation, sous-comité SC 9, Présentation,
identification et description des documents.
L'ISO 690 comprend les parties suivantes, présentées sous le titre général
Information et documentation — Références bibliographiques:
— ISO 690: Documentation — Références bibliographiques — Contenu,
forme et structure
NOTE — L'ISO 690 sera révisée en tant que ISO 690-1.
— Partie 2: Documents électroniques, documents complets ou parties
de documents
L'annexe A de la présente partie de l’ISO 690 est donnée uniquement à
titre d'information.

ISO 690-2:1997(F) ISO
Introduction
Un nombre croissant de publications et autres documents apparaissent
sous forme électronique et sont créés, stockés et diffusés sur un système
informatique. Un document électronique peut être définitif et non modi-
fiable, ou il peut tirer avantage de son environnement informatique pour
permettre des modifications à la fois de forme et de contenu. Un document
électronique peut ou non avoir un équivalent sous forme papier ou autre.
Malgré la complexité de ces documents, les étudiants, chercheurs et
autres auteurs ont besoin de faire référence aux ressources électroniques
qui ont documenté leurs recherches. La présente partie de l’ISO 690
fournit un guide pour la création de ces références bibliographiques.
Bien qu'un document électronique puisse ressembler à certains types de
publication imprimée (comme une monographie, une publication en série,
un article ou un chapitre), les caractéristiques physiques inhérentes aux
publications imprimées peuvent ne pas apparaître sous la forme électro-
nique. Par exemple, volumes, numéros et pages sont des caractéristiques
essentielle des formats imprimés, mais non pour les formats électroniques.
Une part croissante de la communication intellectuelle au travers des
réseaux de télécommunications étendus peut se situer quelque part entre
les articles publiés et la correspondance personnelle. Les particularités qui
permettent à l'utilisateur de se déplacer à volonté d'un point d'un document
électronique à un autre point, ou même à un autre document, ajoutent une
complication que l'on ne trouve pas dans la nature linéaire traditionnelle
des formats imprimés.
Quoiqu'une correspondance puisse être faite entre certaines publications
imprimées et certains documents électroniques, ceux-ci ont leur propre
identité en tant que programmes informatiques, bases de données, fichiers
ou enregistrements qui existent dans un format informatique, par exemple
en ligne, sur CD-ROM, sur bande magnétique, sur disque ou sur tout autre
moyen de stockage électronique. Les références bibliographiques à ces
documents électroniques doivent refléter cette identité et non celle de
succédanés du papier.
De nouveaux formats et de nouvelles technologies pour les documents
électroniques continueront à se développer. Comme de tels développe-
ments évoluent dans un contexte d'utilisation généralisée et internationale,
la présente partie de l'ISO 690 sera modifiée, si nécessaire, pour s'adapter
aux nouvelles formes et particularités des documents électroniques.

Information et documentation — Références bibliographiques —
Partie 2:
Documents électroniques, documents complets ou parties de documents
1 Domaine d'application
La présente partie de l’ISO 690 précise les éléments à mentionner dans les références bibliographiques aux
documents électroniques. Elle détermine un ordre obligatoire pour les éléments de la référence et établit des règles
pour la transcription et la présentation de l'information provenant du document électronique source.
La présente partie de l’ISO 690 est destinée aux auteurs et aux éditeurs pour l'établissement de listes de
références de documents électroniques à inclure dans une bibliographie, et pour la formulation des citations dans
le texte correspondant aux entrées de la bibliographie. Elle ne s'applique pas aux descriptions bibliographiques
complètes exigées par les bibliothécaires, les bibliographes, les indexeurs, etc.
2 Références normatives
Les normes suivantes contiennent des dispositions qui, par suite de la référence qui en est faite, constituent des
dispositions valables pour la présente partie de l’ISO 690. Au moment de la publication, les éditions indiquées
étaient en vigueur. Toute norme est sujette à révision et les parties prenantes des accords fondés sur la présente
partie de l’ISO 690 sont invitées à rechercher la possibilité d'appliquer les éditions les plus récentes des normes
indiquées ci-après. Les membres de la CEI et de l'ISO possèdent les registres des Normes internationales en
vigueur à un moment donné.

4 Sources d'information
La principale source d’information contenue dans la référence est le document signalé. Les éléments de la
référence viennent du document électronique lui-même ou de la documentation qui l’accompagne; en aucun cas la
référence ne doit faire appel à une information qui n'est pas disponible à partir de la source consultée.
L'information enregistrée dans la référence doit se rapporter à l'exemplaire spécifique du document examiné ou
utilisé. Par exemple, l'information contenue dans une référence bibliographique se rapportant à un document
disponible sur Internet doit reproduire le titre, les dates, l'emplacement, etc. relatifs à la version particulière
examinée et à l'emplacement du réseau particulier grâce auquel cette version est accessible.
La première source d'information dans le document lui-même est l'écran qui affiche le titre ou son équivalent (par
exemple, l'affichage d'écran qui suit l'ouverture de la session ou celui qui porte la mention de copyright). Si on ne
trouve pas ce genre d'écran sur le document électronique, une autre source comme une documentation
d'accompagnement ou le conteneur peut fournir l'information nécessaire.
5 Schémas des références bibliographiques
Les schémas qui suivent sont destinés à identifier les éléments constitutifs des références bibliographiques de
documents électroniques et à établir une séquence normalisée pour la présentation de ces éléments. Ces schémas
couvrent les références aux programmes informatiques, bases de données, monographies électroniques,
publications en série électroniques, babillards et autres systèmes de communication électronique, pour leur
ensemble et pour leurs parties ou contributions. Le même cadre général s'applique à tous ces documents, mais
ceux qui ont des caractéristiques propres à leur forme de publication sont traités dans des paragraphes séparés.
Pour chaque élément bibliographique, son caractère obligatoire ou facultatif est indiqué entre parenthèses à la suite
du nom de l'élément.
Les mentions d'éléments sont obligatoires uniquement si elles sont applicables au document signalé et si
l'information est facilement disponible à partir du document lui-même ou de la documentation qui
l'accompagne. Il est recommandé d'inclure dans la référence les éléments répertoriés comme facultatifs, si
l'information est facilement disponible.
