It presents, in two languages, terms and definitions of selected concepts relevant to the field of information technology and identifies relationships among the entries. In order to facilitate their translation into other languages, the definitions are drafted so as to avoid, as far as possible, any peculiarity attached to a language. This part of ISO/IEC 2382 contains general and selected terms concerning computer programming, and specifically preparation, execution, debugging, and verification of programs. ITU Recommendations have been taken into account. Not included are proprietary terms and terms considered as too technical.
