Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the Inter-
national Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for
worldwide standardization. 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 commit-
tees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organiza-
tions, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC,
also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Stan-
dards, but in exceptional circumstances a technical committee may pro-
pose the publication of a Technical Report of one of the following types:
- type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publica-
tion 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 agreement 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 publication, to decide whether they can be transformed into Interna-
tional 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be reviewed until the data they provide are considered to be no longer
valid or useful.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 10000-2, which is a Technical Report of type 3, was prepared
by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC
TR 10000-2: 1990), which has been technically revised.
ISO/IEC TR 10000 consists of the following parts, under the general title
Information technology - Framework and taxonomy of International
Standardized Profiles:
- Part 1: Framework
- Part 2: Taxonomy of OS/ Profiles
Annex A of this part of ISO/IEC TR 10000 is for information only.

Introduction
The context of Functional Standardization is one part of the overall field of Information
Technology standardization activities covering
a
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 offered by them.
0
Profiles, which define conforming subsets or combinations of base standards used to
provide specific functions. Profiles identify the use of particular options available in
the base standards, and provide a basis for the development 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 ISOIIEC JTC 1 the process of Functional Standardization is concerned with the
methodology of defining Profiles, and their publication in documents called "International
Standardized Profiles" (ISPs) in accordance with procedures contained in Directives of
JTC 1.
In addition to ISOIIEC TR 10000, the secretariat of the Special Group on Functional
Standardization maintains a standing document (SD-4) entitled "Directory of ISPs and
Profiles contained therein". This is a factual record of which ISPs exist, or are in preparation,
together with an executive summary of each Profile. It is subject to regular updating by the
Secretariat of ISOIIEC JTC I/SGFS.
