scope:

This part of ISO 12651 defines terms and concepts relevant to electronic document imaging and identifies relationships among the entries. In order to facilitate their translation into other languages, the definitions are drafted to avoid, as far as possible, any peculiarity attached to a language. This part of ISO 12651 is intended to facilitate communication in the field of electronic document management and is limited to document management elements within the scope of TC171, Document management applications. Additionally, it provides information to users related to technical reports, guidelines, and standards developed for technologies commonly available in document management systems. The term electronic document management used throughout this document is intended as an "allencompassing" term referring to inputting technologies (scanning, indexing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), forms, digital creation, etc.), management technologies (document services, workflow, and other work management tools), and storage (primarily optical/magnetic) technologies.
