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.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction

This International Standard provides guidance to the library and information services community on

the collection and reporting of statistics.

Clauses 3 and 7 form the core of this International Standard. Clause 3 provides definitions for most of

the elements which constitute a library service; these are for statistical purposes only. Clause 7

recommends how each of these elements should be counted. Users will need to consult both clauses for

the complete picture.

This International Standard includes definitions and counting procedures for all types of resources and

services that libraries offer to their users.

It is recognized that not all measures specified in this International Standard can be collected by

libraries of different types and sizes. To give greater completeness, several additional measures

(important for some sectors only) are described in Annex A. The aim is to ensure that, where a

particular statistic is collected, the same definitions and methods are used.

Annex B is important for the compilation and publication of national statistics so that they can be truly

comparable between countries and over time.

As the use of digital library services has become a main issue for showing the role and impact of

libraries, Annex C has been added, giving an overview of methods for measuring digital usage.

The strong requirement to describe and publicize library activities can only be satisfied if data

collection in libraries follows the lines of this International Standard. As far as possible, it is advisable

that libraries collect all data named in this International Standard that concern their activities.

Developments in relation to this International Standard will be monitored and additional statistical

measures will be incorporated as needed.
An alphabetical index is given in Annex D.

Language resource management -- Corpus Query Lingua Franca (CQLF) - Part 2: Ontology
ISO 24623-2:2021

This document specifies the structure of an ontology for a fine-grained description of the expressive power of corpus query languages (CQLs) in terms of search needs. The ontology consists of three interrelated taxonomies of concepts: the CQLF metamodel (a formalization of ISOÂ 24623-1); the expressive power taxonomy, which describes different facets of the expressive power of CQLs; and a taxonomy of CQLs.
This document specifies:
a) the taxonomy of the CQLF metamodel;
b) the topmost layer of the expressive power taxonomy (whose concepts are called “functionalities”);
c) the structure of the layers of the expressive power taxonomy and the relationships between them, in the form of subsumption assertions;
d) the formalization of the linkage between the CQL taxonomy and the expressive power taxonomy, in the form of positive and negative conformance statements.
This document does not define the entire contents of the ontology (see Clause 4).

ISO 23081-2:2021

This document establishes a framework for defining metadata elements consistent with the principles and implementation considerations outlined in ISOÂ 23081-1. The purpose of this framework is to:
a) enable standardized description of records and critical contextual entities for records;
b) provide common understanding of fixed points of aggregation to enable interoperability of records and information relevant to records between organizational systems; and
c) enable reuse and standardization of metadata for managing records over time, space and across applications.
It further identifies some of the critical decision points that need to be addressed and documented to enable implementation of metadata for managing records. It aims to:
—   identify the issues that need to be addressed in implementing metadata for managing records;
—   identify and explain the various options for addressing the issues; and
—   identify various paths for making decisions and choosing options in implementing metadata for managing records.

This document covers the measurable or magnitudinal aspect of quantity so that it can focus on the technical or practical use of measurements in IR (information retrieval), QA (question answering), TS (text summarization), and other NLP (natural language processing) applications. It is applicable to the domains of technology that carry more applicational relevance than some theoretical issues found in the ordinary use of language.
NOTEÂ Â Â Â Â Â ISO 24617-12 deals with more general and theoretical issues of quantification and quantitative information.
This document also treats temporal durations that are discussed in ISO 24617-1, and spatial measures such as distances that are treated ISO 24617-7, while making them interoperable with other measure types. It also accommodates the treatment of measures or amounts that are introduced in ISO 24617‑6:2016, 8.3.

Information and documentation -- Guidelines for bibliographic references and citations to information resources
ISO 690:2021

This document describes a set of principles, guidelines, and requirements for the preparation of bibliographic references and citations in works that are not themselves primarily bibliographical. It is applicable to bibliographic references and citations for all kinds of information resources, including but not limited to monographs, serials, contributions within monographs and serials, patents, cartographic materials, artworks, performances and diverse electronic resources, such as research datasets, databases, programs and applications, Web archives and social media, music, recorded sound, prints, photographs, graphic and audio-visual materials, archival sources and moving images.
This document provides a system for citing information resources that renders deterministic output, such that a citation generated by this system can be uniquely mapped back to the originally defined set of source elements. This system is intended to be applicable across multiple languages. Citations generated by this system are machine-parseable. The citation system described in this document can be used as a configurable framework for building citation styles.
This document does not specify a data model for machine‑readable citations, although such specification may be provided in a separate document or added to a later edition of ISO 690.
Guidelines for legal citations, such as references to cases, statutes or treatises, are not addressed in this document, since such guidelines are usually country-specific1. Recommendations with regards to what kind of information resources may or may not be cited, or describing the risks involved with, for example, citing social media, are not within the scope of this document2.
  
1 For example, the ALWD Guide to Legal Citation, and Bluebook, are commonly used in the USA depending on jurisdiction acceptance.
2 Academic institutions or scientific publishers may not accept references for some information resources such as Wikipedia articles for research papers and other scientific documents.

Language resource management -- Lexical markup framework (LMF) - Part 3: Etymological extension
ISO 24613-3:2021

This document describes an extension to ISO 24613-1 and ISO 24613-2 to support the development of detailed descriptions of common etymological phenomena and/or diachronic information with respect to lexical entries in born-digital and/or retro-digitized lexicons. It provides both a meta-model for such an extension as well as the relevant data categories.

Language resource management -- Semantic annotation framework (SemAF) - Part 2: Dialogue acts
ISO 24617-2:2020

This document provides a set of empirically and theoretically well-motivated concepts for dialogue annotation, a formal language for expressing dialogue annotations (the Dialogue Act Markup Language, DiAML), and a method for segmenting a dialogue into semantic units. This allows the manual or automatic annotation of dialogue segments with information about the communicative actions which the participants perform by their contributions to the dialogue. The annotation scheme specified in this document supports multidimensional annotation of spoken, written, and multimodal dialogues involving two or more participants. Dialogue units are viewed as having multiple communicative functions in different dimensions. The markup language DiAML has an XML-based representation format and a formal semantics which makes it possible to perform inferences with DiAML representations. This document also specifies data categories for dimensions of dialogue analysis, for communicative functions, for dialogue act qualifiers, and for relations between dialogue acts. Additionally, it provides mechanisms for customizing these sets of concepts, extending them with application-specific or domain-specific concepts and descriptions of semantic content, or selecting relevant coherent subsets of them. These mechanisms make the dialogue act concepts specified in this document useful not only for annotation but also for the recognition and generation of dialogue acts in interactive systems.

Language resource management -- Comprehensive Annotation Framework (ComAF) - Part 3: Diagrammatic semantic authoring (DSA)
ISO 24627-3:2021

This document specifies how to represent (not visualize) documents (instance data, not data schemas) as graphs. It does not specify how to visualize or operate on document data, but it aims at making documents easier for people to compose and comprehend by allowing for various graph-based flexible user interfaces, possibly incorporating document-visualization practices (see Introduction). In this connection, this document does not specify annotations to existing documents either, but rather it specifies a schema of documents with explicit logical structures.

Language resource management -- Controlled human communication (CHC) - Part 3: Basic principles and methodology for controlled oral communication (COralCom)
ISO 24620-3:2021

This document provides basic principles and a methodology for establishing a specification for designing and constructing a formally defined, or controlled, system of oral communication that avoids or filters out phonetic interferences and confusions between words of the same language and between languages. The system is both abstracted from, and contextually situated in, the domains of industry, business or other technologies.
This document deals only with oral communication between native speakers, or non-native speakers, or a native speaker and a non‑native speaker, who can be disturbed due to different phenomena, such as phoneme confusion, phonetic interferences and confusions between words (for example: homophony, quasi-homophony or co-articulation) of the same language and/or different languages and the resulting ambiguities due, for example, to multilingual communication or stressful situations. This document deals with speakers and listeners without speech or hearing impediments[16], and does not include sign languages which have a phonological system equivalent to the system of sounds in spoken languages[23].
Foreseen applications are essentially in safety critical applications using human oral communication. This document is also applicable to other domains involving, for example, training and evaluation procedures and robots.
