About This Item
TS ISO/IEC 2382-16 is the vocabulary part of the information technology series devoted to information theory. It brings together the terms and definitions of selected concepts used in information processing and shows the relationships between entries, helping establish a common technical language. In general technical terms, information theory deals with messages, their representation and communication, and the quantitative ideas used to describe them.
How the terminology is organised
The scope is not limited to listing isolated terms; it also identifies how the concepts relate to one another. This matters because core ideas such as message, information, transmission and quantitative measures need to be understood within a consistent terminology framework. The definitions are drafted to be as translatable as possible, which supports clear international communication and reduces ambiguity across languages.
Why this vocabulary matters
Information theory provides the conceptual background for uncertainty, coding, signals and capacity in data communication and information processing systems. Standardised terminology is useful in engineering documentation, academic writing, system design and multilingual technical exchange. By aligning the meanings of discipline-specific concepts, this part helps prevent confusion and supports consistent interpretation.
- Covers selected concepts relevant to information processing and communication.
