scope:

This part of ISO 2382 is intended to facilitate international communication in information processing, in two languages, term and and definitions of selected concepts relevant to the field of information processing and identifies relationships between the entries. In order to facilitate their translation into other languages, the definitions are drafted so as to avoid, as far as possible, any peculiarity attached to a language. ISO 2382 (which will comprise some twenty-eight parts) defines concepts relating to certain forms of data representation, to representation systems, and to notations which provide for some forms of representation.
