TS ISO/IEC 2382-15

TS ISO/IEC 2382-15 is the part of the information technology vocabulary devoted to programming languages. It brings together terms and definitions for selected concepts and shows relationships among the entries, with the broader aim of making international communication in information technology more consistent. As a vocabulary standard, it focuses on how concepts are named and distinguished rather than on prescribing product features or implementation rules.

It organises programming-language concepts at vocabulary level

Programming languages are formal languages used to express instructions to a computer and the structure of those instructions. In general technical terms, this field includes core ideas such as syntax, semantics, data types, expressions, declarations, control structures, and the naming and classification of program units. A terminology standard like this helps engineers, translators, and technical writers use the same concept with the same meaning across languages.

What this part covers and how it is bounded

• It provides bilingual terms and definitions.
• It covers selected concepts relevant to information technology.
• It identifies relationships among conceptual entries.
• It is drafted to avoid language-specific peculiarities as far as possible, supporting translation into other languages.
• It focuses on concepts related to programming languages.

This record represents the withdrawn TS ISO/IEC 2382-15 edition based on ISO/IEC 2382-15:1999; the subject area shown on the product page defines the technical domain, but it does not by itself imply current normative use. Even so, the document remains a useful reference framework for understanding programming-language terminology in a shared, structured way.
