NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) which is identical with ISO/IEC 2382 : 2015 ‘Information technology - Vocabulary’ issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) jointly was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Data Management System Sectional Committee, and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1986. The first revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO/IEC 2382 : 2015

The text of ISO/IEC Standard may be approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
