Standards, Volume 5, Issue 4

December 2025 - 10 articles

Cover Story: I would have expected an illustration resembling a large magnifying glass examining several documents, such as technical standards, laws, and EU directives. In this context, the term 'terminology' should perhaps appear explicitly. This would visually convey that these documents—standards, laws, and decisions—are being scrutinised specifically with respect to their terminology, as discussed in the paper. An additional consideration is that it would be desirable for the terminology across all documents to align coherently, much like interlocking gears. This concept this could also be incorporated into the illustration, represented in a thought bubble or similar visual device. View this paper
