Adopts ISO 5127 to provide a concept system and general vocabulary for the field of documentation within the whole information field.

This Standard was prepared by the Australian members of the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee IT-019, Information and Documentation, Information Technology— Learning, Education, Training and Research, to supersede AS/NZS ISO 5127:2004, Information and documentation—Vocabulary.

After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.

The objective of this Standard is to provide a concept system and general vocabulary for the field of documentation within the whole information field. It has been created with a balanced representation of major work areas in mind: documentation, libraries, archives, media, museums, records management, conservation as well as legal aspects of documentation.

This Standard is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO 5127:2017, Information and documentation — Foundation and vocabulary.
