Process to Develop Terms - ISO-TC204/iso14812 GitHub Wiki

The process used by this effort conforms to ISO 704:2009, which defines the following process for each concept (i.e., the meaning of a term) that you wish to define:

1. Analyse the intension (i.e., characteristics) and extension (i.e., resulting set of objects) of the concept
2. Determine the concept's relationships to other concepts
3. Illustrate the relationships with a concept diagram
4. Formulate definitions based on the relationships
5. Assign a designation (i.e., the term) to each concept in the diagram

The process used by this effort also conforms to ISO 24156-1:2014, which defines how to use UML to illustrate relationships with a concept diagram (Step 3 above). The UML diagrams are created and maintained using Sparx Enterprise Architect and version controlled in both native *.eap files and XMI (in *.xml) files so that they can be imported into any number of different tools.
