About This Item
TS ISO 15188 is a project-management guideline for terminology standardization work. It addresses the phases and procedures to be followed in terminology standardization projects, including harmonization and uniformity activities carried out within the international standardization framework. In practical terms, it provides a common working structure for preparing, reviewing, and aligning technical terms so that terminology can be handled consistently across standards and related documents.
How terminology standardization projects are organised
Terminology is more than a list of words: it is the structured naming of concepts within a technical field. Standardization work therefore focuses not only on spelling or preferred labels, but also on concept boundaries, usage context, and relationships such as broader, narrower, or related terms. A project-management guideline is useful because terminology work often involves subject experts, editors, and standardization bodies that must reach consistent decisions across languages and documents. ISO 15188 frames that activity as a managed project rather than an isolated editorial task.
Why harmonization and uniformity matter
In general technical practice, harmonization aims to align terms across languages, domains, or documents, while uniformity seeks consistent use of the same conceptual designation wherever possible. These principles are especially important in standards, glossaries, technical guides, and data dictionaries, where inconsistent naming can undermine clarity and interoperability. TS ISO 15188 covers the principles for organising such work within international standardization, but it does not define a specific sector vocabulary; it addresses the management logic behind terminology projects.
