From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 User interfaces is a standardization subcommittee (SC), which is part of the joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1, of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), that develops standards within the field of user-system interfaces in information and communication technology (ICT) environments. The subcommittee was founded at the 1998 Sendai ISO/IEC JTC 1 Plenary meeting, before which it was a working group directly under ISO/IEC JTC 1 (ISO/IEC JTC 1/WG 5).[1] The international secretariat of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 is AFNOR (Association Française de Normalisation), located in France.[2][3]

Scope and mission

[edit]

The scope of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 is “Standardization in the field of user-system interfaces in information and communication technology (ICT) environments and support for these interfaces to serve all users, including people having accessibility or other specific needs, with a priority of meeting the JTC 1 requirements for cultural and linguistic adaptability,” [3][4] including:

  • User interface accessibility (requirements, needs, methods, techniques and enablers)
  • Cultural and linguistic adaptability and accessibility (such as evaluation of cultural and linguistic adaptability of ICT products, harmonized human language equivalents, localization parameters, voice messaging menus, etc.)
  • User interface objects, actions and attributes
  • Methods and technologies for controlling and navigating within systems, devices and applications in visual, auditory, tactile and other sensorial modalities (such as by voice, vision, movement, gestures, etc.)
  • Symbols, functionality and interactions of user interfaces (such as graphical, tactile and auditory icons, graphical symbols and other user interface elements)
  • Visual, auditory, tactile and other sensorial input and output devices and methods in ICT environments (for devices such as keyboards, displays, mice, etc.)
  • User interfaces for mobile devices, hand-held devices and remote interactions

Structure

[edit]

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 is made up of seven active working groups (WGs), each of which carries out specific tasks in standards development within the field of user interfaces, where the focus of each working group is described in the group’s terms of reference. The seven active working groups of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 are:[5][6]

Working Group Working Area
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35/WG 1 Keyboards and input interfaces
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35/WG 2 Graphical user interface and interaction
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35/WG 4 User interfaces for mobile devices
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35/WG 5 Cultural and linguistic adaptability
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35/WG 6 User interfaces accessibility
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35/WG 7 User interfaces object, actions and attributes
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35/WG 9 Natural user interfaces and interactions

Collaborations

[edit]

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 works in close collaboration with a number of other organizations or subcommittees, both internal and external to ISO or IEC, in order to boost synergies and share know-how but also to avoid conflicting or duplicative work. Organizations internal to ISO or IEC that collaborate with or are in liaison to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 include:[7][8][9]

  • ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2, Coded character sets
  • ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 36, Information technology for learning, education and training
  • ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics
  • ISO/TC 159/SC 4, Ergonomics of human system Interaction - Software ergonomics and human - computer dialogues
