Scope:

This is the first edition of CSA Standard CAN/CSA-Z243.58-92, Information Technology Vocabulary. This bilingual dictionary was developed to communicate and standardize information technology usage in Canada for both specialists and users.

The Canadian Advisory Committee to SC1 of ISO/IEC JTC1 felt that a publication of this nature could be used as a medium for standardizing terminological usage in a field that is constantly changing. It contains basic vocabulary describing computer systems technology with fundamental terms related to the latest technological developments such as OSI and expert systems. In this first edition, special attention was given to the preparation of user-oriented definitions.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.
