ISO 860 Terminology work – Harmonization of concepts and terms is an ISO standard that deals with the principles which are the basis upon which concept systems can be harmonized and with the development of harmonized terminologies, in order to improve the efficiency in interlinguistic communication.
Term harmonization refers to the designation of a single concept (in different languages) by terms that reflect similar characteristics or similar forms.
The standard contains a flow chart for the harmonization process and a description of the procedures for performing it.
It applies to the development of harmonized terminologies, at either the national or international level, in either a monolingual or a multilingual context.
