1. Title: NISO Z39.53 - 199X Codes for the Representation of Languages
for Information Interchange
Description: This standard provides a standardized code for libraries,
information services and publishers to use to indicate
language in the exchange of information. It is a list
reflecting the need to distinguish recorded information
by language.
2. Title: NISO z39.4 - 199X Guidelines for Indexes and Related Information
Retrieval Devices
Description: This standard provides guidlines for the content,
organization, and presentation of indexes used for the
retrieval of documents and parts of documents. It deals
with the principles of indexing, regardless of the type of
material indexed, the indexing method used (intellectual
analysis, machine algorithum, or both), the medium of the
index, or the method of presentation for searching. It
includes definitions of indexes and of their parts,
attributes and aspects; a uniform vocabulary; treatment of
the nature and variety of indexes; and recommendations
regarding the design, organization, and presentation of
indexes. It does not attempt to set standards for every
detail or technique of indexing. These can be determined
for each index on the basis of factors covered in the
standard, including the type of material indexed, the
medium of the index, the method of presentation for
searching, and the type of user for whom the index is
designed.
