1.4.4. Terminology Standards
Once a standardization committee has decided which terms to use to designate which concepts, a terminology standard can be published in order to disseminate the results of the committee's work to those affected by these decisions.
A terminology standard is a document reflecting the selection and approval of one or more terms by a recognized standardizing body for the purpose of promoting preferred usage or discouraging deprecated usage in the target community. In this way, standards are another tool for disseminating terminological data and encouraging consistent terminology usage.
The following image depicts an example of a terminology standard document.
