TS ISO 2382-12

TS ISO 2382-12 is the part of the information technology vocabulary devoted to peripheral equipment, organizing selected concepts together with their terms, definitions and the relationships between related records. Standards of this kind are used to keep naming consistent across languages and technical contexts; here the focus is the terminology used for equipment attached to information processing systems.

The subject area covered by the scope includes data media, storage devices, magnetic tapes and printers. In general technical terms, peripheral equipment supports input, output, storage or data transfer functions around the main processing system; although it sits outside the central processing unit, it strongly affects how a system is used, how data moves, and how results are produced.

Why the terminology structure matters

The distinctions in a vocabulary standard are important because the same family of equipment may be described differently depending on its role. A device may be treated as a data carrier, a storage medium, an output unit or a supporting input/output component. Linking terms with definitions, and showing their relationships, is a core purpose of this kind of international vocabulary standard.

Document boundaries and type

• This record is a terminology part on peripheral equipment, not a performance or test-method standard.
• The scope covers selected concepts and their definitions; it does not state device-specific limits or operating requirements.
• It is the Turkish-language listing of an ISO/IEC 2382-12-based vocabulary document and it has been withdrawn.
