Technical Reference Manual for the Standardization of Geographical Names United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names
ST/ESA/STAT/SER.M/87 Department of Economic and Social Affairs Statistics Division Technical reference manual for the standardization of geographical names United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names United Nations New York, 2007 The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which Member States of the United Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities. NOTE The designations employed and the presentation of material in the present publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. The term “country” as used in the text of this publication also refers, as appropriate, to territories or areas.

New countries and new non-self-governing and autonomous territories appeared, some countries changed their names, other their capital or its name, the Polish names for several countries and their capitals also changed as did the recommended principles for the Romanization of several languages using non-Roman systems of writing.

[email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-1947-5589 La dicotomía entre ciencia y religión proviene de la edad media, en la cual, los aspectos espirituales no podían explicarse desde el método científico, y a su vez, la matematización mecánica del universo era el único argumento que convencía a los investigadores. Sin embargo, más atrás en la línea del tiempo, los egipcios, sumerios, chinos, etc., unificaban las teorías metafísicas con las ciencias básicas para dar cuenta de los fenómenos en todas las escalas desde lo micro hasta lo macro. -

Thesecond_ section examines hoW videotex systems should present anddisplay information, and how such i'nformation should be internally organized sothat it is maximally useful for thefreader/user. Theanalysis, which draws heavily on work done during several videotex fieldtrials in the United States, Canada,' and other countries, incorpor4esinsights from.human factors studies of, video display terminals,research on typography and graphic display, and work on thedesign of interactive systems and computer help facilities. Thethird section addresses some, significant policy_issues that affectinstructional uses of videotex, including questions of equity, privacy, andsecrecy._ Finally, several possible future scenarios for the development ofvideotexas an instructional medium are discussed,, and the suggestionis made that. the convergence of videotex withother emerging technologies may result in novel arrangements for electronicpublishing and new qpportunities for. improvedinstructional design.

The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard IS0 9636 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 97, Information processing systems. Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated. 0 International Organization for Standardization, 1987 Printed in Switzerland This is a preview - click here to buy the full publication IS0 9036: 1987 (El Contents Page 1 Scope and field of application ........................................ -

Scope This paper provides a second draft of the text sections of the Second Edition of ISO/IEC 10646-1. It replaces the previous paper WG2 N 1796 (1998-06-01). This draft text includes: - Clauses 1 to 27 (replacing the previous clauses 1 to 26), - Annexes A to R (replacing the previous Annexes A to T), and is attached here as “Draft 2 for ISO/IEC 10646-1 : 1999” (pages ii & 1 to 77). Published and Draft Amendments up to Amd.31 (Tibetan extended), Technical Corrigenda nos. 1, 2, and 3, and editorial corrigenda approved by WG2 up to 1999-03-15, have been applied to the text. The draft does not include: - character glyph tables and name tables (these will be provided in a separate WG2 document from AFII), - the alphabetically sorted list of character names in Annex E (now Annex G), - markings to show the differences from the previous draft. A separate WG2 paper will give the editorial corrigenda applied to this text since N 1796. The editorial corrigenda are as agreed at WG2 meetings #34 to #36. Editorial corrigenda applicable to the character glyph tables and name tables, as listed in N1796 pages 2 to 5, have already been applied to the draft character tables prepared by AFII.
