Standards
LISA leads the globalization industry in the development of standards that facilitate international business.
Through its OSCAR special interest group, LISA is active in the development of technical standards for the globalization process. LISA standards include:
Term Base eXchange (TBX)
For representing and exchanging a broad range of terminological data
TBX-Basic
Lighter version of TBX for practical uses.
Translation Memory eXchange (TMX)
For the exchange of translation memory (TM) data
Segmentation Rules eXchange (SRX)
Improves cross-product TM leverage.
Global information management Metrics eXchange (GMX)
Standard word and character counts for consistent costing and estimating.
XML text memory (xml:tm)
For storing text and translation memory in XML documents.
Term Link
The lightweight standard for linking XML documents to terminology resources.
TBX is now an ISO standard
At its annual meeting, held this year in Moscow in August, ISO TC37 unanimously approved TBX as an ISO standard (ISO 30042). Learn more >.
TBX-Basic has been revamped
The LISA Terminology SIG has recently updated TBX-Basic to make it compliant with the latest version of TBX. Learn more >.
Migration Path for Idiom Users
Can open standards lead to a ‘third path’ for Idiom WorldServer users? LISA is collaborating with the N. America WorldServer User Group to find out. Here are the results so far.
