Software engineering international standards have been developed to eliminate the gaps between the practitioners in understanding and implementing the software engineering terms and techniques. However, in presence of the coordination lack between the standardization bodies and even between the different workgroups within the same standardization body, some of these standards came up with a set...

We present a methodology for model-based authoring of standards based on Object-Process Methodology (OPM). This general systems-engineering approach to authoring of specifications is supported by an OPM framework and a procedure for model-to-text translation. This methodology, developed as part of the ISO TC 184/SC 5 OPM Study Group activities, is expected to become the basis of an emerging ISO...

BACKGROUND Premature failures of wheelchairs in less-resourced environments (LREs) may be because of shortcomings in product regulation and quality standards. The standards published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specify wheelchair tests for durability, safety and performance, but their applicability to products used in the rugged conditions of LREs is unclear. Bec...

We present rapidly the family of standards that are currently under development within ISO-TC37. Then as an example of application of these ISO specifications for French, a concrete industrial parser is described: TagParser.

International standards that define requirements for the development of safety-related systems typically also define required confidence levels for the software tools used to develop those systems. The standards define—to a greater or lesser extent— procedures to classify, validate, certify, or qualify tools. To date, there is no common approach for tool validation, certification, and qualifica...

This paper presents an abstract data model for linguistic annotations and its implementation using XML, RDF and related standards; and to outline the work of a newly formed committee of the International Standards Organization (ISO), ISO/TC 37/SC 4 Language Resource Management, which will use this work as its starting point. The primary motive for presenting the latter is to solicit the partici...

The ISO/IEC 29110 series aims to provide Very Small Entities (VSEs) with a set of standards based on subsets of existing standards. Process capability determination does not seem suitable for a VSE in terms of return on investment. Our approach proposes to move the viewpoint away from process and to the human resources. We propose a blended assessment model using the ISO/IEC 15504 for the level...

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) together form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. International Standards are developed by technical committees, whose membership comes from national bodies who are members of ISO or from IEC participants. ISO and IEC committees collaborate in fields of mutual inter...

The ISO 21501-4 calibration standard for Light Scattering Air Particle counters (LSAPC) is being increasingly adopted by pharmaceutical manufacturing companies. Calibration of APC instruments is a broad and complex subject of interest to a wide variety of stakeholders. For example production engineers, cleanroom validation technicians, micro-biologists and QA specialists. The informational need...

The paper presents an evolved metamodel that has its origins in GERAM 1.6.3 but takes into considerations the needs of evolution of EA standards, including ISO 15704:2000 and ISO 42010:2000 – both currently under review.
