TS ISO/IEC 2382-5
Information technology - Vocabulary - Part 5: Representation of data
This standard is intended to facilitate international communication in information technology. It presents, in two languages, terms and definitions of selected concepts relevant to the field of information technology and identifies relationships among the entries. In order to facilitate their translation into other languages, the definitions are drafted so as to avoid, as far as possible, any peculiarity attached to a language. This standard defines concepts related to the representation of data, including types of representation, literals, numeration systems and notation.

About This Item
TS ISO/IEC 2382-5 is a terminology standard for the information technology field, focused on data representation. It collects terms and definitions for selected concepts and shows relationships among the entries, supporting more consistent technical communication across languages. As a vocabulary document, it helps readers understand how the subject is named, organized and conceptually linked in the IT domain.
What data representation covers
In general technical terms, data representation is about how information is expressed using symbols, numerals, notation and formal conventions. That includes concepts such as types of representation, numeration systems, literals and notation. The standard’s role is terminological rather than procedural: it defines the concepts and their relationships, rather than prescribing an implementation method for software or hardware.
Why this vocabulary matters
- Supports translation-friendly definitions intended for international use.
- Helps distinguish closely related terms used in representation, notation and numbering.
- Provides a common reference for documentation, glossaries and technical communication.
- Clarifies the conceptual layer beneath data formats and software-specific encoding choices.
This TSE record is a withdrawn standard, but its subject remains useful as a conceptual reference in IT terminology. The core distinction here is between the data itself and the way it is represented: representation governs the symbolic or formal expression of information, which is why terminology in this area needs to be precise and stable.
