Finding your way among ISO standards for terminology, language and linguistics

Abstract

Even though we use standards pervasively and constantly in our lives, this is not so
frequent a case in terminology, language and/or linguistics works. This might be due to
the fact that the related standards have been created quite recently and, thus, they and the
benefits that entail using them are not so well-known so far. Thus, the main goal of this
paper is to present (i) the benefits of using standards in general, (ii) the international
technical 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 this
technical committee (e.g. the FreeLing Standardised Web Service – FreeLing SWS), which
shows, for instance, one of the main particular benefits of using ISO/TC 37 standards (i.e.
they help linguistic annotations interoperate).
