Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International
Electrotechnical Commission) together form a system for worldwide standardization
as a whole. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the
development of International Standards through technical committees established by
the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and
IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also
take part in the work.
1
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint technical
committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The main task of a technical committee is to prepare International Standards but
in exceptional circumstances, the publication of a Technical Report of one of the
following types may be proposed :
-
type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of
an International Standard, despite repeated efforts;
- type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for
any other reason there is the future but not immediate possibility of an agree-
ment on an International Standard;
- type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind
from that which is normally published as an International Standard ("state of the
art", for example).
Technical Reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publica-
tion, to decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
Technical Reports of type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they
provide are considered to be no longer valid or useful.
ISO/IEC/TR 1oooO-2, which is a Technical Report of type 3, was prepared by
the Special Group on Functional Standardization of ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information
1 technolog y.

Introduction
The context of Functional Standardization is one part of the overall field of Information Technology standardi-
zation activities covering
0
Base standards, which define fundamentals and generalized procedures. They provide an infrastructure
that can be used by a variety of applications, each of which can make its own selection from the options
e
offered by them.
0
Profiles, which define subsets or combinations of base standards used to provide specific functions. Pro-
files identify the use of particular options available in the base standards, and provide a basis for the de-
velopment of uniform, internationally recognized, conformance tests.
0 Registration mechanisms, which provide the means to specify detailed parameterization within the
framework of the base standards or Profiles.
Within ISO/IEC JTC 1, the process of Functional Standardization is concerned with the methodology of de-
fining Profiles, and their publication in documents called "International Standardized Profiles" (ISPs).
In addition to ISO/IEC/TR 10000, the Secretariat of the Special Group on Functional Standardization main-
tains a "Directory of ISPs and Profiles contained therein". This is a factual record of which ISPs exist, or are in
preparation, together with a summary description of the scope, scenario, and model for each Profile. It is sub-
ject to regular updating by the Secretariat.
