CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 9973-07 (R2012)

Preface

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

Scope

This International Standard specifies procedures to be followed in preparing, maintaining and publishing a register of identifiers and meanings for standards under the direction of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24.

NOTE These procedures may be used to extend any standard developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24. Some registration items are graphical in nature; other registration items define data structures used by the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24 standards. All registered items are intended for reuse within other adjunct standards.

Registration procedures do not assign values of identifiers that are defined as being workstation-dependent by specific graphics standards. The register of font appearance in the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24 register for graphical items is not intended to address the broader issues of general-purpose font registration. The procedures apply to registration of individual items within classes as reserved for registration in the International Standards developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24.
