Finding your way among ISO standards for terminology, language and linguistics
Antonio Pareja-Lora · Verbeia. · 2015
Even though we use standards pervasively and constantly in our lives, this is not sofrequent a case in terminology, language and/or linguistics works. This might be due tothe fact that the related standards have been created quite recently and, thus, they and thebenefits that entail using them are not so well-known so far. Thus, the main goal of thispaper is to present (i) the benefits of using standards in general, (ii) the internationaltechnical committee responsible for the initiatives of standardisation in this field (that is,ISO/TC 37), and (iii) an example of application of some of the standards developed by thistechnical committee (e.g. the FreeLing Standardised Web Service – FreeLing SWS), whichshows, for instance, one of the main particular benefits of using ISO/TC 37 standards (i.e.they help linguistic annotations interoperate).
