Back then, the document specified a comprehensive reference model for the representation of syntactic annotations, but no accompanying XML serialisation. ISO’s subcommittee on language resource management (ISO TC 37/SC 4) is working on making the SynAF serialisation ISOTiger an additional part of the standard. T...

In the last two decades several models for evaluating software process capability have been defined and became more and more popular. The application of such models, and in particular the ISO/IEC 15504, determined a general software process improvement in many domains. Nevertheless, the application of the ISO/IEC 15504 standard is still considered by many agile developers as incompatible with a...

In 2006-2008 we performed a case study for the purpose of assessing the industrial application of the seven part Control Centre (CC) design standard ISO 11064 to identify positive and negative experiences among stakeholders in the Norwegian petroleum sector. We mainly focussed on ISO 11064 Part 1, because this was the most commonly used among the identified stakeholders. ISO 11064 is generally ...

In the past, ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 and ISO 9003:1994 were the standards used for certifying production organizations, but seldom in educational institutions, although it concerns the quality of products and service. The new standard ISO 9001:2000 introduces process approach to quality management. Definitions for quality in education, and examples of processes, according to ISO 9001:2000,...

The documentation of an information and communication system according to the requirements of the ISO 27005 standard is difficult, because the standard only provides sparse descriptions. We propose the use of specific patterns for the ISO 27005 standard, which can be instantiated for any given information and communication system. Each of our pattern will cover a section of the standard. In thi...

While ISO 9000 has been shown to improve internal metrics of firm performance, external measurements may be unaffected. This paper examines the economic value of successive generations of the ISO 9000 standard by assessing the equity returns of 204 firms certified between 1999 and 2002. This study also examines the economic effects of ISO 9001:2000 versus the superseded 1994 standards. The comp...
