TS ISO/IEC 2382-13

TS ISO/IEC 2382-13 is the computer graphics part of the information technology vocabulary series, bringing together terms, definitions, and relationships among selected concept entries in this field. Terminology standards provide a common linguistic framework so that the same technical subject can be understood consistently across languages, organisations, and documents; this part systematises the conceptual language used for computer graphics.

Why terminology matters in computer graphics

Computer graphics deals with the creation, transformation, storage, and presentation of images by computer. The field spans concepts such as image representation, drawing objects, display, colour, resolution, and interaction. A terminology standard like this helps writers, engineers, educators, and translators use the same concept names with the same meanings, which is especially important in multilingual technical communication.

What this standard covers

• Selected information technology concepts and their terms and definitions
• Relationships among the recorded computer graphics concepts
• Common terminology intended to support international communication
• Systematic vocabulary organisation as part of the ISO/IEC 2382 series

In general technical context, computer graphics terminology distinguishes among two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging, geometric modelling, raster and vector representations, image processing, and user interaction. This kind of vocabulary work is about conceptual clarity rather than product testing or compliance criteria. TS ISO/IEC 2382-13 is also withdrawn, so it should be treated as an archival reference rather than an active requirements document.
