Bilişim Terimleri Sözlüğü

This TSE glossary standard is a terminological reference that presents suitable Turkish equivalents for international terms used in ISO standards within the field of informatics. Its focus is on making the naming of concepts in information technology consistent in Turkish and reducing ambiguity caused by multiple competing word choices.

How the terms are organised as a glossary

As a glossary-type standard, it addresses concepts primarily from the standpoint of approved equivalents and usage consistency rather than as a clause-by-clause technical definition standard. In terminology work, the key issue is which Turkish term represents a given concept clearly and consistently; this supports a shared language in education, documentation, translation, and technical communication. In a fast-moving field such as informatics, this helps prevent different organisations and publications from naming the same concept in different ways.

What the scope does and does not cover

• It is limited to ISO terms.
• It provides Turkish equivalents for international informatics terms.
• The standard is organised as a glossary rather than as a technical method standard.
• It targets ISO-based terminology rather than every possible term used in general computing language.

In general technical context, informatics terminology covers a broad field including hardware, software, data, networks, information processing, and related methods. Such glossaries support translation consistency while preserving conceptual relationships and help prevent meaning drift in technical documents. The value of the standard lies not only in listing words, but also in supporting disciplined and consistent use of terminology across the field.
