<doc-type>
Document Type
The NISO STS document model may be used to describe many kinds of standards documents, not just standards and adoptions of standards. It is a guiding principle of this Tag Set that any standards document that can use the modeling rules for a “standard” may be tagged according to this Tag Set. This <doc-type> element names the type of document, for example, a standard (“standard”), a specification (“spec”), or a technical report (“tr”).
Remarks
English-language Content: The <doc-type> element may contain any description of the document type. Typical content in English includes text such as:
- standard (Standard from a standards-producing organization or adoption of a standard. This is expected to be the most common value.)
- adv (Advisory)
- guide (Guide to a Standard)
- hb (Handbook)
- is (International Standard)
- isp (International Standardized Profile)
- iwa (International Workshop Agreement)
- mp (Miscellaneous Publication)
- pas (Publicly Available Specification)
- r (Recommendation. ISO Note: Obsolete for ISO-related standards documents.)
- rec (Rec)
- safety guide (Safety Guide)
- sp (Specific Publication)
- spec (Specification)
- ssg (Specific Safety Guide)
- stp (Standard Test Procedure)
- tes method (Test Method)
- tir (Technical Information Request)
- tn (Technical Note)
- tr (Technical Report)
- trf (TEST REPORT FORM)
- ts (Technical Specification)
- tta (Technology Trends Assessment)
- wa (Workshop Agreement)
Non-English Document Type Content: The text content of <doc-type> will typically be in the base language of the standard. For example, here are some document types that might be used for a German standard, taken from DIN standards documents:
dc,b | Bekanntmachung |
---|---|
st,ne | Entwurf einer Norm |
st,n | Norm |
td,tr | Technische Regel (Technical Rule, for example, for DIN SPEC documents: http://www.din.de/en/about-standards/din-spec-en) |
st,vn | Vornorm |
