O ISOAEC
Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International
Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide stan-
dardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the
development of International Standards through technical committees estab-
lished by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual
interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental,
in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances a technical committee may propose the publication
of a Technical Report of one of the following types:
- type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of
an International Standard, despite repeated efforts;
-
type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for
any other reason there is the future but not immediate possibility of an
agreement on an International Standard;
-
type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind
from that which is normally published as an International Standard ("state
of the art", for example).
Technical reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of
publication, to decide whether they can be transformed into International Stan-
dards. Technical Reports of type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until
the data they provide are considered to be no longer valid or useful.
iSO/iEC TR 10000-2, which is a Technical Report of type 3, was prepared by
Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO/IEC
TR 10000-2:1994), which has been technically revised.
ISO/IEC TR 10000 consists of the following parts, under the general title Infor-
- Framework and taxonomy of International Standardized
mation technology

-
Part 1: General principles and documentation framework

Part 2: Principles and Taxonomy for OS1 profiles

Introduction
The context of Functional Standardization is one part of the overall field of
Information Technology standardization activities covering
Base standards, which define fundamentals and generalized
procedures. They provide an infrastructure that can be used by a
variety of applications, each of which can make its own selection from
the options offered by them.
Profiles, which define conforming subsets or combinations of base
standards used to provide specific functions. Profiles identify the use
of particular options available in the base standards, and provide a
basis for the development of uniform, internationally recognized,
conform an ce tests.
Registration mechanisms, which provide the means to specify
detailed parameterization within the framework of the base standards
or profiles.
Within ISOAEC JTC 1, the process of Functional Standardization is
concerned with the methodology of defining profiles, and their publication in
documents called "International Standardized Profiles" (ISPs) in accordance
with procedures contained in Directives of JTC 1. The scope of Information
Technology standardization to which this process is being applied is that
which corresponds to the generally understood, but loosely defined, concept
of "Open Systems". The objective is to facilitate the specification of IT
systems characterized by a high degree of interoperability and portability of
their components.
In addition to ISO/IEC TR 10000, the secretariat of the Special Group on
Functional Standardization maintains a standing document (SD-4) entitled
"Directory of lSPs and Profiles contained therein". This is a factual record of
which lSPs exist, or are in preparation, together with an executive summary
of each profile. It is subject to regular updating by the Secretariat of
ISOAEC JTC l/SGFS.
