National bodies that are members
14、 of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organi
15、zations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical commit
16、tee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC 15897 was prepare
17、d by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 304 “Character Set Technology“ (as CEN ENV 12005), and it was adopted under a special “fast-track“ procedure by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, in parallel with its approval by national bodies of ISO and IEC. Annexes A, C and E for
18、m a normative part of this International Standard. Annexes B, D, F, G and H are for information only. iii Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Thu Nov 23 03:44:46 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI ISO/IEC 15897:1999(E) Introduction Cultural differences throughout the world make it ne
19、cessary to adopt IT-equipment to each local culture. Standard methods, being developed by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22, make such adoption easier. Registering the local conventions in a globally available registry make it still easier. CEN/TC304 was the first committee to start work on such a registry and the
20、European prestandard ENV 12005:1996 was the result. This International Standard is the result of the fast-track of DS/ENV 12005, a Danish Standards Association standards publication equivalent to CEN ENV 12005. This International Standard sets out the procedures for registering cultural elements, bo
21、th as narrative text and in a more formal manner, using the techniques of ISO/IEC 9945-2 POSIX Shell and Utilities. The registration will be free-of-charge and the results will also be freely available on the network at the address http:/www.dkuug.dk/cultreg/. This will make information on cultural
22、conventions freely and easily available to producers in the IT market. Some of these conventions can even be implemented automatically by downloading the formal POSIX specifications. iv Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Thu Nov 23 03:44:46 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI INTERNA
23、TIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 15897:1999(E) Information technology - Procedures for registration of cultural elements 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the procedures to be followed in preparing, publishing and maintaining a register of cultural specifications for computer use, including freef
24、orm narrative cultural elements specifications, and POSIX Locales and Charmaps conforming to ISO/IEC 9945-2. The registry is in printed and electronic form, and the text of the cultural specifications are recorded in a way that is independent of any coded character set. Each cultural element registr
25、ation shall have unique identifiers in a particular standard format defined below in 6.8. A numeric identifier and a token identifier shall be assigned to each registered cultural element specification, POSIX Locale, Charmap and Repertoire- map. These identifiers are for unique identification of the
26、 cultural specification, and intended to be used with POSIX locale handling mechanisms and possibly other locale and charmap usage, such as in programming languages, database handling and communication protocols and for identification and specification by human operators. The field of application of
27、 this International Standard is to provide reference for implemen- ters, procurers, users, and standardization organizations, to determine cultural requirements in a given cultural environment. Registered items using certain POSIX formal specification methods can also be used by the POSIX Operating
28、System and other software capable of using such specifications. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, an

35、r that depends on language and cultural conventions (see 2.5 of the POSIX standard for a specification of the locale file format) 3.2 Charmap: a text file describing a coded character set (see 2.4 of the POSIX standard for a description of the Charmap file format) 3.3 Text File: a file that contains
36、 characters organized into one or more lines 3.4 Cultural Element: a data item for computer use that may vary dependent on language, territory, or other cultural circumstances 3.5 Cultural Specification: either a Narrative Cultural Specification, a related POSIX Locale or a POSIX Charmap or a Repert
37、oiremap 3.6 Narrative Cultural Specification: a narrative description for computer use of cultural- ly dependent information, further described in 6.2 3.7 Repertoiremap: a definition of a mapping between character names and characters for the repertoire of characters used in a Locale, further descri
38、bed in 6.9. 3.8 Profile (of a standard): a set of specifications of values of parameters in the standard, selections of optional items of the standard, or the recommendations concerning imple- mentation-related matters of the standard. 2 Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Thu Nov 23 03:44:4

The contents of this register shall be available to ISO/IEC JTC 1 members and to the ge
40、neral public, both in printed and electronic form (for example, text files, postscript and/or fax format). The ISO and IEC councils shall designate a Registration Authority for this International Standard. The initial registration Authority is designated to be: The Danish UNIX-systems User Group (DK
41、UUG) Fruebjergvej 3 DK-2100 Kbenhavn Danmark Fax: +45 3920-8948 email: culturalregisterdkuug.dk web: http:/www.dkuug.dk/cultreg/ With regard to the assignment of numeric and token identifiers to Cultural Specifications, and of subsequent additions of Cultural Specifications to the register, the resp
42、onsibilities of the Registration Authority shall be a) to receive from Sponsoring Authorities proposals of Cultural Specifications and associated token identifiers; b) to ascertain that each proposal complies with clause 6; c) in the case of a POSIX Locale, to ascertain that the POSIX Locale and the
43、 corre- sponding Narrative Cultural Specification are not in contradiction; d) to circulate proposals to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 members and liaisons, with the propo- sed identifiers for a three month period for information and comments; e) to forward the comments received to the Sponsoring Authority for
44、possible integra- tion in the final documents; f) in the case of comments, to optionally receive from the Sponsoring Authority revised proposals addressing the comments received; g) to assign to the Cultural Specification appropriate token identifiers based on the information given by the Sponsoring
45、 Authority, and to assign to the Cultural Specification the next available number to be used as a numeric identifier when the proposal complies with the rules, unless the Cultural Specification is identical to one already registered, in which case the new token identifiers shall be added to the exis
46、ting registration; h) to promulgate to all ISO/IEC JTC 1 members and liaisons the Cultural Specifications registered and the identifiers assigned; i) to inform the appropriate Sponsoring Authority when a proposal does not comply to the rules. 3 Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Thu Nov 23
47、03:44:46 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI ISO/IEC 15897:1999(E) The contents of an individual registration shall never be changed or deleted once it has been registered (except for name additions). Even the correction of editorial errors will make a new registration necessary. This is cont
48、rasted with a standard which must be reviewed and/or revised periodically. When a standard is revised that has been used as basis for a Narrative Cultural Specification, a POSIX Locale, Charmap, or Repertoiremap, these are not changed in the register. If a Sponsoring Authority desires recognition of
49、 such a revision, a new registration shall be made by following the normal procedures. 5 Sponsoring authorities 5.1 Proposals for registration of Cultural Specifications may be made only by the fol- lowing bodies, which, for the purpose of this International Standard, are considered Sponsoring Authorities: a) Any Member Body or Associated Member Body of CEN or ISO/IEC JTC1, for proposals related to the territories for which they have authority; b) ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 for proposals related to wider regions. Sponsoring Authorities may submit proposals for r
