DANSK DSF/ISO/FDIS 12616-1 [ Draft ]

This document specifies fundamentals of translation-oriented terminography to provide guidance for producing sound bilingual or multilingual terminology collections. This part of ISO 12616 deals with the main tasks, skills, processes and technologies for translation-oriented terminography practiced by terminology workers in simple settings. Terminology workers are translators, project managers or technical communicators who do terminology work as part of their job, but are not fullfledged terminologists. The more complex tasks and processes performed by terminologists and more sophisticated technologies generally used in larger production environments will be covered in the future ISO 12616-2.
