scope:

Establishes a system for the transliteration and/or transcription of Greek characters into Latin characters. This system provides for two sets of rules, each constituting a type of conversion, which are: - Type 1, transliteration of Greek characters into Latin characters - Type 2, transcription of Greek characters into Latin characters. The system applies to the characters of Greek script, independent of the period in which it is or was used, i.e. it applies to monotoniko and polytoniko scripts from all periods of Classic or Modern Greek (archaic, alexandrian, hellenistic, byzantine, katharevousa, dimotiki, etc.) as well as any other form of writing using the Greek script.
