Title Participants Abstract "Ahammiyyat al-munazzamah al-duwaliyyah li’l-taqyīs (ISO) wa al-llağnah al-tiqaniyyah 37 al-khāssah bi ‘l-taqyīs: al-mustalahī ( = The raison d'être of ISO/TC 37 Terminological Standards in all ISO Technical Standards)" "Hendrik Kockaert, Abd Alrahman Alswlaiman" "This article refers to the 2013 Business Plan proposed by the ISO Technical Committee 37 (ISO/TC 37 “Terminology and other language and content resources”), and intends to promote the standards developed by ISO/TC 37 in the areas of terminology management. The TC 37 standards extend beyond standardization and terminology and cover also other language and content resources and their applications in any field or application which involves communication as well as the creation, management and transfer of information and knowledge. TC 37 is one of nine ISO technical committees which are called horizontal committees, and are as such recognized as being strategically important and having an impact horizontally across other ISO technical committees and industries using standards concerning terminology, language and structured content. Standardization initiatives worldwide rely on TC 37 standards."

With increased clinical and research use, it is critical that all technical details of the hardware design, signal processing and analyses, and testing protocols are transparent and clearly reported to allow standardisation, comparison and replication of clinical and research studies. Because of this need, an update of the 2003 European Respiratory Society (ERS) technical standards document was produced by an ERS task force of experts who are active in clinical oscillometry research. The aim of the task force was to provide technical recommendations regarding oscillometry measurement including hardware, software, testing protocols and quality control. The main changes in this update, compared with the 2003 ERS task force document are 1) new quality control procedures which reflect use of ""within-breath"" analysis, and methods of handling artefacts; 2) recommendation to disclose signal processing, quality control, artefact handling and breathing protocols (e.g. number and duration of acquisitions) in reports and publications to allow comparability and replication between devices and laboratories; 3) a summary review of new data to support threshold values for bronchodilator and bronchial challenge tests; and 4) updated list of predicted impedance values in adults and children." "The role of technical standards for at and DfA equipment and services" "Jan Engelen" "For many years in the modern era, care for persons with severe functional impairment or disability also implied respecting their person, their rights for self-determination and autonomy. To support autonomy many types of assistive equipment have been developed. They are often very specialized, technology-intensive devices for which the market is relatively small. Increasing this market through internationalization brings up immediately the question of standardisation of the technical aids and services. In this contribution we will present an overview of the standardization activities over the last twenty years in the domain of assistive technology and design-for-all (DfA) solutions. © 2011 - IOS Press and the authors.

We believe that the decision to develop a new standards is sometimes taken too quickly and that, when possible, existing generic standards should be profiled for the domain of learning. At this point in time, the development of tools, technologies, and methodologies that fully exploit the affordances of existing standards is more relevant than the development of new standards. Moreover, we believe that the relationship between technical standardization and research is often misunderstood: The main role of standards for research is to enable a large-scale technological infrastructure that promotes innovation through its open nature. © 2008 IEEE" "ERS technical standards for using type III devices (limited channel studies) in the diagnosis of sleep disordered breathing in adults and children" "Dries Testelmans" "Expanding the spectrum of European Respiratory Society official scientific documents : short documents complement clinical practice guidelines, statements and technical standards" "Nicolas Roche, Thomy Tonia, Marc Miravitlles, Valerie Vaccaro, Celine Genton, Tobias Welte, Thierry Troosters, Chris Brightling" "Technical standards for respiratory oscillometry" "Cindy Thamrin, Raffaele L.
