Language resource management - Controlled natural language (CNL) - Part 1: Basic concepts and principles
As part of a drive to provide international standards for language resource management, this part of
ISO 24620 on controlled natural language (CNL) sets out the principles of CNL and its utilization together
with the relevant supporting technology. However, this part of ISO 24620 also aims to introduce a general
view of CNL with its objectives and characteristics and provide a scheme for classifying a range of CNLs.
This part of ISO 24620 additionally specifies certain normalizing principles of CNLs that control the use
of natural languages in particular domains and are also oriented towards areas of practical application.
These areas include public administrative communications, search optimization, and the management
of automatic question-answering systems, but the current version of this part of ISO 24620 does not
address any issue involving these applications directly.

About This Item
TSE ISO/TS 24620-1 is a technical specification that establishes the basic concepts and principles of controlled natural language (CNL) within language resource management. It presents the general framework for using natural language in a more controlled, consistent, and machine-supportable way, and it also provides a scheme for classifying different kinds of CNL.
What controlled natural language is for
Controlled natural language is not a replacement for natural language, but a constrained form of it. By limiting vocabulary, phrasing, or certain grammatical choices, it aims to reduce ambiguity and improve consistency. In general technical practice, CNL is associated with clearer documentation, better terminological discipline, and improved processing by software systems that need reliable input.
What this technical specification frames
This part introduces the general view of CNL, including its objectives and characteristics, and situates it alongside relevant supporting technology. The abstract identifies public administrative communications, search optimization, and the management of automatic question-answering systems as areas of application. At the same time, this edition sets out general principles and normalizing principles rather than detailing how those applications are implemented.
