January 2004Contribution from: Canadian Member Body of ISO/IEC JTC1
For distribution to JTC1 Member Bodies
Subject: ISO/IEC 2382 – IT Vocabulary maintenance
Issue: Canada believes that the ISO/IEC 2382 multi-part standard needs to be reviewed
and updated as appropriate or withdrawn, and/or declared “stable”. Canada also believes
that such a process needs to include JTC1 SCs and also take into account the fact thatmany of the ISO/IEC 2382 definitions are used in multiple JTC1 standards. Canada isprepared to lead this effort, on behalf of ISO/IEC JTC1.
Proposal: Canada recommends to ISO/IEC JTC1 to establish an Ad-Hoc Group on“JTC1 Vocabulary” with the following scope:
1. To develop and /or propose a process and mechanism to carry out themaintenance work on ISO/IEC 2382;
2. To ensure that the approach taken supports the three strategic directions of JTC1for standardization work, namely, “portability”, “interoperability” and “culturaladaptability”, i.e. as and where appropriate and applicable; and,3. To, in developing and/or proposing such a process and mechanism, take into
account the needs of the SCs in their development of vocabulary as part of theirstandards development.
Canada also recommends that should this proposal be accepted that each JTC1 SC berequested to designate a representative to this Ad-Hoc.
Offer of Canadian National Body in Support of Establishment of JTC1 Ad-Hoc on
JTC1 Vocabulary
Subject to JTC1 resolving to establish an Ad-Hoc Group on JTC1 Vocabulary, Canada
offers to provide:
1) A Rapporteur in the person of Mr. Joseph Côté, Treasury Board of Canada.
2) IT support tools to support the maintenance work on ISO/IEC 2382 including
providing access to such tools to ISO/IEC JTC1, its SC’s and all Member Bodiesof ISO/IEC JTC1.
3) Host an Interim Meeting of the Ad-Hoc on JTC1 Vocabulary.
4) Present an activity report and a proposed workplan, at the 2004 JTC1 Plenarymeeting.
